Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible to Pray in - of Clothing and Place
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ لُبْسِ اَلْخَزِّ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَلْبَسُ اَلْكِسَاءَ اَلْخَزِّ فِي اَلشِّتَاءِ فَإِذَا جَاءَ اَلصَّيْفُ بَاعَهُ وَتَصَدَّقَ بِثَمَنِهِ وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ« إِنِّي لَأَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ رَبِّي أَنْ آكُلَ ثَمَنَ ثَوْبٍ قَدْ عَبَدْتُ اَللَّهَ فِيهِ»»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Fadalah, from Husayn ibn ‘Uthman, from Ibn Muskan, from Al-Halabi, said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about wearing ‘khazz’ (a type of fine fabric). Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no problem with it. Indeed, (Imam) Ali ibn Al-Husayn عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, used to wear a ‘khazz’ cloak in the winter, and when summer came, He عليه السلام would sell it and give its price in charity. And He (Imam Ali ibn Husayn عليه السلام) used to say: 'I feel ashamed before my Lord عز وجل to eat from the price of a garment in which I worshipped Allah سبحانه وتعالى.'"
