Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ اَلْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ عَلَيْهِ خِضَابُهُ فَقَالَ« لاَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَكِنْ يَنْزِعُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ» قُلْتُ إِنَّ حِنَّاءَهُ وَ خِرْقَتَهُ نَظِيفَةٌ فَقَالَ« لاَ يُصَلِّي وَ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ أَيْضاً لاَ تُصَلِّي وَ عَلَيْهَا خِضَابُهَا»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Faddalah from Husayn ibn Uthman from Ibn Muskan from Abu Bakr al-Hadrami, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who is praying while wearing his dye (khidab). Imam (a.s) said: "He should not pray while it is on him, but he should remove it when he wants to pray." I said: "His henna and cloth are clean." Imam (a.s) said: "He should not pray while it is on him. Likewise, a woman also should not pray while her dye (khidab) is on her."

قال محمد بن الحسن هذا الخبر محمول على الاستحباب دون الوجوب والذي يدل على ذلك ما رواه

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan said: “This report is to be understood as recommending (istihbab) and not as an obligation (wujub).” What indicates this is what has been narrated:

سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمُخْتَضِبِ إِذَا تَمَكَّنَ مِنَ اَلسُّجُودِ وَ اَلْقِرَاءَةِ أَيْضاً أَ يُصَلِّي فِي حِنَّائِهِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَ خِرْقَتُهُ طَاهِرَةً وَ كَانَ مُتَوَضِّئاً»

Sa‘d from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Rifa‘ah, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan (a.s), peace be upon him, about a person who is dyed with henna, if he is able to perform sujud and recite properly, can he pray while wearing his henna? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, if his cloth is pure and he is in a state of ablution."

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ اَلْيَسَعِ اَلْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ أَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّجُلُ فِي خِضَابِهِ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى طُهْرٍ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ»

From him, from Ahmad from Muhammad ibn Sahl ibn al-Yasa‘ al-Ash‘ari from his father from Abu al-Hasan (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam (a.s): "May a man pray while wearing his dye (khidab) if he is in a state of purity?" Imam (a.s) said: "Yes."

سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تُصَلِّي وَ يَدَاهَا مَرْبُوطَتَانِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَقَالَ« إِنْ كَانَتْ تَوَضَّأَتْ لِلصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَ هِيَ مُخْتَضِبَةٌ وَ يَدَاهَا مَرْبُوطَتَانِ»

Sa‘d from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa al-Sabati, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a woman who prays while her hands are tied with henna. Imam (a.s) said: "If she had performed ablution for the prayer before that, then there is no harm in her praying while she is dyed with henna and her hands are tied."

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةِ يَخْتَضِبَانِ أَ يُصَلِّيَانِ وَ هُمَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَ اَلْوَسِمَةِ فَقَالَ« إِذَا أَبْرَزَا اَلْفَمَ وَ اَلْمَنْخِرَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

From him, from Abu Ja‘far from Musa ibn al-Qasim from Ali ibn Ja‘far from his brother (Imam) Musa ibn Ja‘far (a.s), peace be upon them both, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man and a woman who apply henna or wasmah (a type of dye), can they pray while having it on? Imam (a.s) said: "If they leave the mouth and the nostrils uncovered, then there is no harm."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ لاَ يُخْرِجُ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ فَقَالَ« إِنْ أَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ فَحَسَنٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُخْرِجْ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Faddalah from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Ja‘far (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who prays without taking his hands out from his garment. Imam (a.s) said: "If he takes his hands out, it is good; but if he does not, there is no harm."

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي فَيُدْخِلُ يَدَيْهِ فِي ثَوْبِهِ فَقَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ آخَرُ إِزَارٌ أَوْ سَرَاوِيلُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَلاَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ أَدْخَلَ يَداً وَاحِدَةً وَ لَمْ يُدْخِلِ اَلْأُخْرَى فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

As for what was narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa al-Sabati from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who prays while inserting his hands into his garment. Imam (a.s) said: "If he is wearing another garment, such as an izar (a waist wrap) or trousers, then there is no harm. But if he is not, then it is not permissible for him to do so. And if he inserts one hand and not the other, there is no harm."

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّجُلُ مَحْلُولَ اَلْأَزْرَارِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim from (Imam) Ja‘far (a.s) from his father (a.s), peace be upon them both: (Imam (a.s)) said: "A man should not pray with his buttons undone if he is not wearing an izar (waist wrap)."

فالوجه في هذين الخبرين أن نحملهما على ضرب من الاستحباب بدلالة ما قدمناه من الاخبار ويزيد ذلك بيانا ما رواه

Thus, the interpretation of these two reports is that they should be understood as recommending (istihbab) a preferred practice, rather than an obligation, based on the earlier reports we have presented. What further clarifies this is what has been narrated:

سعد عن أحمد بن محمد عن الحسن بن محبوب عن علي ابن رئاب عن زياد بن سوقة عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال قال لا بأس أن يصلي أحدكم في الثوب الواحد وازراره محلولة إن دين محمد صلى الله عليه وآله حنيف

Sa'd from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from Ziyad ibn Suwayqah: Abu Ja‘far (a.s), peace be upon him, said: “The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, said: "There is no harm if one of you prays in a single garment with its buttons undone. Indeed, the religion of Muhammad (saws), peace be upon him and his family, is upright and easy (hanif)."

سَعْدٌ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كُلُّمَا لاَ تَجُوزُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِيهِ وَحْدَهُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِيهِ مِثْلُ اَلتِّكَّةِ اَلْإِبْرِيسَمِ وَ اَلْقَلَنْسُوَةِ وَ اَلْخُفِّ وَ اَلزُّنَّارِ يَكُونُ فِي اَلسَّرَاوِيلِ وَ يُصَلَّى فِيهِ»

Sa'd from Musa ibn al-Hasan from Ahmad ibn Hilal from Ibn Abi 'Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabi: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "Everything in which prayer is not valid if worn alone, there is no harm in praying while wearing it along with other garments, such as a silk belt, a cap (qalansuwah), leather socks (khuff), and a belt (zunnar) that may be in trousers, and he may pray while wearing it."

سَعْدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى اَلصَّيْرَفِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي فِي اَلْخُفِّ اَلَّذِي قَدْ أَصَابَهُ قَذَرٌ فَقَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ مِمَّا لاَ يَتِمُّ فِيهِ اَلصَّلاَةُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

Sa'd from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ayyub ibn Nuh from Safwan ibn Yahya and Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sayrafi from Hammad ibn Uthman from someone who narrated it from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: (Imam (a.s) was asked) regarding a man who prays in leather socks (khuff) that have been soiled. Imam (a.s) said: "If it is something in which the prayer is not completed (meaning it is not considered a complete garment by itself), then there is no harm."

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَى اَلْخَشَّابِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ قَلَنْسُوَتِي وَقَعَتْ فِي بَوْلٍ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَوَضَعْتُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِي ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»

From him, from al-Hasan ibn Ali from Abdullah ibn al-Mughirah from al-Hasan ibn Musa al-Khashshab from Ali ibn Asbat from Ibn Abi Layla from Zurarah, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “My cap (qalansuwah) fell into urine, so I picked it up and placed it on my head, and then I prayed.” Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm."

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْبِلاَدِ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلشَّيْءِ اَلَّذِي لاَ تَجُوزُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِيهِ وَحْدَهُ يُصِيبُهُ اَلْقَذَرُ مِثْلِ اَلْقَلَنْسُوَةِ وَ اَلتِّكَّةِ وَ اَلْجَوْرَبِ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn Asbat from Ibrahim ibn Abi al-Bilad from someone who narrated to them: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "There is no harm in praying in something that, if worn alone, prayer is not valid in it, even if it is soiled, such as a cap (qalansuwah), a belt (tikkah), or socks (jawrab)."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كُلُّمَا كَانَ لاَ تَجُوزُ فِيهِ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَحْدَهُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ اَلشَّيْءُ مِثْلِ اَلْقَلَنْسُوَةِ وَ اَلتِّكَّةِ وَ اَلْجَوْرَبِ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ali ibn Asbat from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from Zurarah from one of the two (Imam (a.s) Abu Ja‘far or Abu Abdullah, peace be upon them): (Imam (a.s)) said: "Everything in which prayer is not valid if worn alone, there is no harm if such a thing is worn during prayer, such as a cap (qalansuwah), a belt (tikkah), or socks (jawrab)."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ قَاسِمٍ اَلصَّيْقَلِ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي أَعْمَلُ أَغْمَادَ اَلسُّيُوفِ مِنْ جُلُودِ اَلْحُمُرِ اَلْمَيْتَةِ فَتُصِيبُ ثِيَابِي أَ فَأُصَلِّي فِيهَا فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ« اِتَّخِذْ ثَوْباً لِصَلاَتِكَ» فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كُنْتُ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِيكَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا فَصَعَّبَ عَلَيَّ ذَلِكَ فَصِرْتُ أَعْمَلُهَا مِنْ جُلُودِ اَلْحُمُرِ اَلْوَحْشِيَّةِ اَلذَّكِيَّةِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ« كُلُّ أَعْمَالِ اَلْبِرِّ بِالصَّبْرِ يَرْحَمُكَ اَللَّهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ مِمَّا تَعْمَلُ وَحْشِيّاً ذَكِيّاً فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Wasiti from Qasim al-Sayqal, who said: I wrote to (Imam) al-Ridha (a.s), peace be upon him, saying: “I work in making scabbards for swords from the skins of dead donkeys, and these skins touch my clothes, can I pray in them?” Imam (a.s) wrote back to me: "Designate a specific garment for your prayer." Then I wrote to Abu Ja‘far (a.s), peace be upon him, saying: “I had written to your father (a.s), peace be upon him, about such-and-such, and it was difficult for me, so I began to make them from the skins of wild donkeys that had been slaughtered according to proper Islamic method (dhakiyyah).” Imam (a.s) wrote back to me: "All righteous deeds are accompanied by patience, may Allah (swt) have mercy on you. If what you work with is from wild animals properly slaughtered (dhakiyyah), then there is no harm."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَقَيَّأُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ أَ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ وَ لاَ يَغْسِلَهُ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»

Muhammad ibn Ahmad by Ahmad ibn al-Hasan by ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id by Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah by ‘Ammar: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who vomits on his garment, can he pray in it without washing it? Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm."

سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ خَيْرَ انَ اَلْخَادِمِ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى اَلرَّجُلِ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اَلثَّوْبِ يُصِيبُهُ اَلْخَمْرُ وَ لَحْمُ اَلْخِنْزِيرِ أَ يُصَلَّى فِيهِ أَمْ لاَ فَإِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا قَدِ اِخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ صَلِّ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ شُرْبَهَا وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لاَ تُصَلِّ فِيهِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« لاَ تُصَلِّ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ»

Sahl ibn Ziyad from Khayran the servant, who said: I wrote to Him (a.s) asking about a garment that is soiled by wine or the flesh of swine, should one pray in it or not? For indeed our companions have differed about it; some of them said: "Pray in it, for Allah (swt) has only forbidden drinking it," and some said: "Do not pray in it." So Imam (a.s), peace be upon him, wrote back: "Do not pray in it, for it is impurity (rijs)."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ قَالَ: بَعَثْتُ بِمَسْأَلَةٍ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ قُلْتُ سَلْهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَبُولُ فَيُصِيبُ فَخِذَهُ قَدْرُ نُكْتَةٍ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ فَيُصَلِّي وَ يَذْكُرُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَغْسِلْهَا قَالَ« يَغْسِلُهَا وَ يُعِيدُ صَلاَتَهُ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Ibn Muskan, who said: I sent a question to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, through Ibrahim ibn Maymun. I said to (ibn Maymun): “Ask Imam (a.s) about a man who urinates and small drop of his urine touches his thigh, and he prays, then after remembers that he did not wash it.” Imam (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "He must wash it and repeat his prayer."

ولا ينافي هذا الخبر ما رواه

And this report does not contradict what has been narrated:

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ عَذِرَةٌ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ أَوْ سِنَّوْرٍ أَوْ كَلْبٍ أَ يُعِيدُ صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَلاَ يُعِيدُ»

Ali ibn Mahziyar from Faddalah from Aban from Abdul-Rahman ibn Abi Abdullah, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who prays while there is excrement (‘adhirah) of a human, or a cat, or a dog on his garment, does he have to repeat his prayer? Imam (a.s) said: "If he did not know about it, then he does not have to repeat."

لان الوجه في هذا الخبر أنه إذا لم يعلم في حال حصول النجاسة ذلك وصلى ثم علم فلا يجب عليه اعادة الصلاة والخبر الاول يتناول من علم حصول النجاسة في الثوب فلم يغسله اما تعمدا أو نسيانا لزمه بعد ذلك اعادة الصلاة وقد استوفينا ذلك في كتاب الطهارة وأوردنا فيه الاخبار منها خبر زرارة وغيره ويزيد ذلك بيانا ما رواه

Because the interpretation of this report is that if a person did not know about the occurrence of impurity at the time of the prayer and then discovered it afterward, it is not obligatory for him to repeat the prayer. As for the first report, it concerns one who knew about the impurity on his garment and did not wash it, whether deliberately or out of forgetfulness, thus he must repeat the prayer afterward. We have fully detailed this in the Book of Purity and have cited therein the relevant narrations, including the report of Zurarah and others. What further clarifies this is what has been narrated:

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَصَابَ ثَوْبَهُ جَنَابَةٌ أَوْ دَمٌ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ أَصَابَ ثَوْبَهُ جَنَابَةٌ أَوْ دَمٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فِيهِ وَ لَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعِيدَ مَا صَلَّى وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فَنَظَرَ فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئاً أَجْزَأَهُ أَنْ يَنْضَحَهُ بِالْمَاءِ»

Ali ibn Ibrahim from Abdullah ibn al-Mughirah from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man whose garment was soiled by janabah (semen) or blood. Imam (a.s) said: "If he knew that janabah or blood had touched his garment before he prayed, and then he prayed in it without washing it, he must repeat whatever prayers he performed. But if he suspected that something had touched him and he inspected it and did not see anything, it suffices for him to sprinkle it with water."

عَلِيٌّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى فِي ثَوْبٍ فِيهِ جَنَابَةٌ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ عَلِمَ بِهِ قَالَ« عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَبْتَدِئَ اَلصَّلاَةَ» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي وَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ جَنَابَةٌ أَوْ دَمٌ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ ثُمَّ عَلِمَ قَالَ« قَدْ مَضَتْ صَلاَتُهُ وَ لاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ»

Ali from Muhammad ibn Isa from Yunus ibn Abd al-Rahman from Ibn Muskan from Abu Basir: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding a man who prayed two rak‘ahs in a garment that had janabah on it, and then he became aware of it. Imam (a.s) said: "He must begin the prayer anew." He (Abu Basir) said: “I also asked Imam (a.s) about a man who prays while there is janabah or blood on his garment, and he only realizes it after he finishes his prayer.” Imam (a.s) said: "His prayer is valid and nothing is required of him."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعِيصِ بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى فِي ثَوْبِ رَجُلٍ أَيَّاماً ثُمَّ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ اَلثَّوْبِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُصَلَّى فِيهِ قَالَ« لاَ يُعِيدُ شَيْئاً مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ»

Ali ibn Mahziyar from Safwan from al-‘Ayyas ibn al-Qasim, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who prayed for several days wearing another man’s garment, and then the owner of the garment informed him that it was not suitable for prayer. Imam (a.s) said: "He does not have to repeat any of his prayers."

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ سَعْدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :فِي اَلْجَنَابَةِ تُصِيبُ اَلثَّوْبَ وَ لاَ يَعْلَمُ بِهَا صَاحِبُهُ فَيُصَلِّي فِيهِ ثُمَّ يَعْلَمُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ« لاَ يُعِيدُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلِمَ»

As for what was narrated by Sa'd from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ibn Abi Umayr from Wahb ibn Abd Rabbih: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding janabah that affects a garment and its owner is unaware of it, and then he prays in it and learns of it afterward. Imam (a.s) said: "He does not have to repeat the prayer if he was not aware of it."

فلا ينافي التأويل الذي ذكرناه لان هذا الخبر محمول على انه إذا لم يعلم في حال الصلاة وكان قد سبقه العلم بحصول النجاسة في الثوب وجب عليه حينئذ إعادة الصلاة

So this does not contradict the interpretation we have mentioned, because this report is to be understood as referring to a case where the person was unaware of the impurity at the time of prayer. However, if he had known previously that impurity had affected the garment, then it would be obligatory for him to repeat the prayer.

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصِيبُ ثَوْبَهُ اَلشَّيْءُ فَيُنَجِّسُهُ فَيَنْسَى أَنْ يَغْسِلَهُ فَيُصَلِّي فِيهِ ثُمَّ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ غَسَلَهُ أَ يُعِيدُ اَلصَّلاَةَ فَقَالَ« لاَ يُعِيدُ قَدْ مَضَتْ صَلاَتُهُ وَ كُتِبَتْ لَهُ»

As for what was narrated by Sa‘d from Ahmad from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from al-‘Ala’, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s) about a man whose garment is soiled by something that renders it impure, and he forgets to wash it, then he prays in it, and afterward remembers that he had not washed it, does he have to repeat the prayer? Imam (a.s) said: "He does not repeat it. His prayer has passed and has been recorded for him."

فانه خبر شاذ لا يعارض به الاخبار التي ذكرناها هاهنا وفيما مضى من كتاب الطهارة ويجوز أن يكون الخبر مخصوصا بنجاسة معفو عنها مثل دم البراغيث والجراح اللازمة أو دم السمك وما يجري مجرى ذلك

For it is an isolated (shadhdh) report that is not to be used in opposition to the other narrations we have mentioned here and earlier in the Book of Purity. It is also possible that this report is specific to an impurity that is excused, such as the blood of fleas, unavoidable wounds, or fish blood, and what is similar to that.

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَرَى فِي ثَوْبِ أَخِيهِ دَماً وَ هُوَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ« لاَ يُؤْذِيهِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim from one of the two (Imam Abu Ja‘far (a.s) or Imam Abu Abdullah (a.s), peace be upon them, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who sees blood on the garment of his brother while he is praying. Imam (a.s) said: "He should not disturb him until he finishes."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ أَبِي أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلَّذِي يُعِيرُ ثَوْبَهُ لِمَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَأْكُلُ اَلْجِرِّيَّ وَ يَشْرَبُ اَلْخَمْرَ فَيَرُدُّهُ أَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْسِلَهُ قَالَ« لاَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهُ»

Ali ibn Mahziyar from Faddalah from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: My father asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about someone who lends his garment to a person whom he knows eats catfish (jirri) and drinks wine, and then the garment is returned, should he pray in it before washing it? Imam (a.s) said: "He should not pray in it until he washes it."

قال محمد بن الحسن هذا الخبر محمول على الاستحباب لان الاصل في الاشياء كلها الطهارة ولا يجب غسل شئ من الثياب إلا بعد العلم بان فيها نجاسة وقد روى هذا الراوي بعينه خلاف هذا الخبر روى

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan said: “This report is to be understood as referring to recommendation (mustahabb), because the default ruling regarding all things is purity, and it is not obligatory to wash any garment unless one has knowledge that it is impure.” Moreover, the same narrator has reported a narration that contradicts this one, as he reported:

رَوَى سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ أَبِي أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ أَنِّي أُعِيرُ اَلذِّمِّيَّ ثَوْبِي وَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَشْرَبُ اَلْخَمْرَ وَ يَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ اَلْخِنْزِيرِ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ فَأَغْسِلُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« صَلِّ فِيهِ وَ لاَ تَغْسِلْهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّكَ أَعَرْتَهُ إِيَّاهُ وَ هُوَ طَاهِرٌ وَ لَمْ تَسْتَيْقِنْ أَنَّهُ نَجَّسَهُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ حَتَّى تَسْتَيْقِنَ أَنَّهُ نَجَّسَهُ»

Sa‘d narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: My father asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), and I was present, saying: “I lend my garment to a dhimmi (non-Muslim under protection), and I know that he drinks wine and eats pork. When he returns it to me, I wash it before praying in it.” Abu Abdillah (a.s) said: "Pray in it and do not wash it because of that. You lent it to him while it was pure, and you have no certainty that he made it impure. So there is no harm in praying in it until you are certain that he has made it impure."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنِ اَلْمُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« لاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلثِّيَابِ اَلَّتِي يَعْمَلُهَا اَلْمَجُوسُ وَ اَلنَّصَارَى وَ اَلْيَهُودُ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Faddalah from Jamil ibn Darraj from al-Mu‘alla ibn Khunays, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah (a.s) say: "There is no harm in praying in garments made by the Magians, the Christians, and the Jews."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْبِلاَدِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلثِّيَابِ اَلسَّابِرِيَّةِ يَعْمَلُهَا اَلْمَجُوسُ وَ هُمْ أَخْبَاثٌ وَ هُمْ يَشْرَبُونَ اَلْخَمْرَ وَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى تِلْكَ اَلْحَالِ أَلْبَسُهَا وَ لاَ أَغْسِلُهَا وَ أُصَلِّي فِيهَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ» قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فَقَطَعْتُ لَهُ قَمِيصاً وَ خِطْتُهُ وَ فَتَلْتُ لَهُ أَزْرَاراً وَ رِدَاءً مِنَ اَلسَّابِرِيِّ ثُمَّ بَعَثْتُ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ حِينَ اِرْتَفَعَ اَلنَّهَارُ فَكَأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ مَا أُرِيدُ فَخَرَجَ فِيهَا إِلَى اَلْجُمُعَةِ

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn from Ibrahim ibn Abi al-Bilad from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s) about Sabiriyyah garments (a type of fabric) made by the Magians, while they are impure and they drink wine, and their women are also in that state, can I wear such clothes without washing them and pray in them? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes." Mu‘awiyah (ibn Ammar) asked: “So I made a shirt for Imam (a.s), sewed it, fashioned buttons for it, and a cloak from the Sabiriyyah cloth, then sent it to Imam (a.s) on a Friday during the day. It was as if Imam (a.s) knew what I intended, so He (a.s) came out for Friday prayer wearing it.

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي ثَوْبِ اَلْمَجُوسِيِّ فَقَالَ« يُرَشُّ بِالْمَاءِ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Aban ibn Uthman from Hammad ibn Uthman from ‘Ubaydullah ibn Ali al-Halabi, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s) about praying in the garment of a Magian. Imam (a.s) said: "It should be sprinkled with water."

سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ وَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ فَأْرَةِ اَلْمِسْكِ تَكُونُ مَعَ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَهِيَ مَعَهُ فِي جَيْبِهِ أَوْ ثِيَابِهِ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ»

Sa'd ibn 'Abdillah from Musa ibn al-Hasan and Ahmad ibn Hilal from Musa ibn al-Qasim from 'Ali ibn Ja'far from his brother (Imam) Musa ibn Ja'far (a.s), peace be upon them, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about the musk pod (fa'rat al-misk) that a man may have with him while praying, in his pocket or in his clothes. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm in that."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ يَعْنِي أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَجُوزُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ وَ مَعَهُ فَأْرَةُ مِسْكٍ فَكَتَبَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ إِذَا كَانَ ذَكِيّاً»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Abdullah ibn Ja'far, said: I wrote to Imam (a.s), meaning Abu Muhammad, peace be upon him, asking: “Is it permissible for a man to pray while he has with him a musk pod?” So Imam (a.s) wrote: "There is no problem with it if it has been purified (slaughtered according to Islamic law)."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْبُرْطُلَةُ فَقَالَ« لاَ يَضُرُّهُ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Yunus ibn Ya‘qub, said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who prays while wearing a burtulah (a type of garment or woolen cloak). Imam (a.s) said: "It does not harm him."

سَعْدٌ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلْقِرْمِزِ وَ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا يَتَوَقَّفُونَ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِيهِ فَكَتَبَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ مُطْلَقٌ« وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ»

Sa'd, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Ali ibn Mahziyar, said: I wrote to Abu Muhammad, peace be upon him, asking Him (a.s) about praying in crimson-dyed cloth, and that our companions refrain from praying in it. So Imam (a.s) wrote: "There is no problem with it at all. ‘And all praise is due to Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the worlds.’"

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تَكُونَ اَلتَّمَاثِيلُ فِي اَلثَّوْبِ إِذَا غُيِّرَتِ اَلصُّورَةُ مِنْهُ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Abdullah, from Al-‘Ala’, from Muhammad ibn Muslim: Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, said: "There is no problem if there are figures on the cloth, as long as the image has been altered."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ اَلْمُرَادِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْوَسَائِدُ تَكُونُ فِي اَلْبَيْتِ فِيهَا اَلتَّمَاثِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينٍ أَوْ شِمَالٍ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تُجَاهَ اَلْقِبْلَةِ فَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ مِنْهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مِمَّا يَلِي اَلْقِبْلَةَ فَغَطِّهِ وَ صَلِّ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ مَعَكَ دَرَاهِمُ سُودٌ فِيهَا تَمَاثِيلُ فَلاَ تَجْعَلْهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْكَ وَ اِجْعَلْهَا مِنْ خَلْفِكَ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Abdullah ibn Muskan, from Layth al-Muradi, said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “The cushions that are in the house which have figures on them, whether on the right or the left” So Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem as long as they are not facing the Qiblah. But if any of them is in front of you, in the direction of the Qiblah, then cover it and pray. And if you have with you black coins that have figures on them, then do not place them in front of you; rather, place them behind you."

عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى كُلِّ اَلتَّمَاثِيلِ إِذَا جَعَلْتَهَا تَحْتَكَ»

From him, from Fadalah, from Al-‘Ala’, from Muhammad ibn Muslim: Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, said: "There is no problem in praying over all kinds of figures if you place them beneath you."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلتَّمَاثِيلِ تَكُونُ فِي اَلْبِسَاطِ لَهَا عَيْنَانِ وَ أَنْتَ تُصَلِّي فَقَالَ« إِنْ كَانَتْ لَهَا عَيْنٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَلاَ بَأْسَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ عَيْنَانِ فَلاَ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Musa ibn ‘Umar, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from some of his companions, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: I asked Imam (a.s) about figures that are on a rug, which have two eyes, while you are praying. Imam (a.s) said: "If it has one eye, there is no problem; but if it has two eyes, then no."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ دَرَاهِمُ فِيهَا تَمَاثِيلُ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Safwan, from Al-‘Ala’, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, said: I asked Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, about a man who prays while in his garment there are coins that have figures on them. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem with that."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلدَّرَاهِمِ اَلسُّودِ فِيهَا اَلتَّمَاثِيلُ أَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّجُلُ وَ هِيَ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ إِذَا كَانَتْ مُوَارَاةً»

Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Fadalah, from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman, said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about black coins (oxidised silver dirhams during that time) that have figures on them, may a man pray while they are with him? Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem with that if they are concealed."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ كِتَابَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي ثَوْبٍ حَشْوُهُ قَزٌّ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ« قَرَأْتُهُ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِيهِ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id said: I read the letter of Muhammad ibn Ibrahim to Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha, peace be upon him, in which he asked Imam (a.s) about praying in a garment whose lining is made of silk. So Imam (a.s) wrote to him: "I have read it. There is no problem in praying in it."

قال محمد بن الحسن ذكر محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن بابويه ان المعنى في هذا الخبر قز الماعز دون قز الابريسم

Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan said: “Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Al-Husayn ibn Babawayh mentioned that the meaning in this narration is the silk of goats, not the silk of abrisim (silkworm silk).”

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْبَرْقِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ جَرَّاحٍ اَلْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ اَلْقَمِيصَ اَلْمَكْفُوفَ بِالدِّيبَاجِ وَ يَكْرَهُ لِبَاسَ اَلْحَرِيرِ وَ لِبَاسَ اَلْوَشْيِ وَ يَكْرَهُ اَلْمِيثَرَةَ اَلْحَمْرَاءَ فَإِنَّهَا مِيثَرَةُ إِبْلِيسَ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad Al-Barqi, from his father, from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Al-Qasim ibn Sulayman, from Jarrah Al-Mada’ini, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: "He used to dislike wearing a shirt trimmed with brocade, and he disliked wearing silk and wearing embroidered garments, and he disliked the red saddle-cloth (‘mitharah’), for it is the saddle-cloth of Iblis."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ اَلْعِيصِ بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ وَ فِي إِزَارِهَا وَ يَعْتَمُّ بِخِمَارِهَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانَتْ مَأْمُونَةً»

Muhammad ibn Isma‘il, from Al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Al-‘Ayyas ibn Al-Qasim, said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who prays in a woman's garment, or in her izar (lower wrap), and wraps himself with her khimar (head covering). Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, if she is trustworthy (in her cleanliness)."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ مِنْ سَفِينَةٍ عُرْيَاناً أَوْ سُلِبَ ثِيَابُهُ وَ لَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئاً يُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ« يُصَلِّي إِيمَاءً وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ اِمْرَأَةً جَعَلَتْ يَدَهَا عَلَى فَرْجِهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَ رَجُلاً وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى سَوْأَتِهِ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسَانِ فَيُومِئَانِ إِيمَاءً وَلاَ يَرْكَعَانِ وَلاَ يَسْجُدَانِ فَيَبْدُوَ مَا خَلْفَهُمَا تَكُونُ صَلاَتُهُمَا إِيمَاءً بِرُءُوسِهِمَا» قَالَ« وَ إِنْ كَانَا فِي مَاءٍ أَوْ بَحْرٍ لُجِّيٍّ لَمْ يَسْجُدَا عَلَيْهِ وَ مَوْضُوعٌ عَنْهُمَا اَلتَّوَجُّهُ فِيهِ فَيُومِئَانِ فِي ذَلِكَ إِيمَاءً رَفْعُهُمَا تَوَجُّهٌ وَ وَضْعُهُمَا تَوَجُّهٌ»

Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Zurarah, said: I said to Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him: “A man came out of a ship naked, or his clothes were taken from him, and he did not find anything to pray in.” Imam (a.s) said: "He should pray by signaling (with gestures), and if it is a woman, she should place her hand over her private part, and if it is a man, he should place his hand over his private part. Then they both should sit and perform prayer by gesturing, without bowing and without prostrating, so that what is behind them does not become exposed. Their prayer should be by gesturing with their heads." Imam (a.s) said: "And if they are in water or in a deep sea, they should not prostrate upon it, and the requirement of facing the Qiblah is lifted from them in that situation. They should gesture therein, raising their heads counts as turning (toward Qiblah), and lowering them counts as turning (toward Qiblah)."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ صَلَّوْا جَمَاعَةً وَ هُمْ عُرَاةٌ قَالَ« يَتَقَدَّمُهُمُ اَلْإِمَامُ بِرُكْبَتَيْهِ وَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ جُلُوساً وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), said: I asked Imam (a.s) of a group of people who prayed congregation while they were naked. Imam (a.s) said: "The imam should go ahead of them on his knees and lead them in prayer sitting, while he is also sitting."

سَعْدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَوْمٌ قُطِعَ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلطَّرِيقُ فَأُخِذَتْ ثِيَابُهُمْ فَبَقُوا عُرَاةً وَحَضَرَتِ اَلصَّلاَةُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُونَ فَقَالَ« يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ إِمَامُهُمْ فَيَجْلِسُ وَ يَجْلِسُونَ خَلْفَهُ فَيُومِئُ إِيمَاءً بِالرُّكُوعِ وَ اَلسُّجُودِ وَ هُمْ يَرْكَعُونَ وَ يَسْجُدُونَ خَلْفَهُ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ»

Sa‘d, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Abdullah ibn Jabalah, from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar, said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “A group of people were ambushed on the road, and their clothes were taken from them, so they remained naked, and the time of prayer arrived, what should they do?” Imam (a.s) said: "Their imam (of prayer) should go ahead of them and sit, and they should sit behind him. He should gesture with signs for bowing and prostration, and they should perform bowing and prostration behind him by placing their faces on the ground."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَمْرَكِيِّ اَلْبُوفَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ قُطِعَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ غَرِقَ مَتَاعُهُ فَبَقِيَ عُرْيَاناً وَ حَضَرَتِ اَلصَّلاَةُ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ« إِنْ أَصَابَ حَشِيشاً يَسْتُرُ بِهِ عَوْرَتَهُ أَتَمَّ صَلاَتَهُ بِالرُّكُوعِ وَ اَلسُّجُودِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْ شَيْئاً يَسْتُرُ بِهِ عَوْرَتَهُ أَوْمَأَ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Al-‘Amraki Al-Bufaki, from Ali ibn Ja‘far, from his brother (Imam) Musa (a.s), peace be upon him, said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man whose belongings were either taken from him or drowned, so he remained naked, and the time of prayer arrived, how should he pray? Imam (a.s) said: "If he finds grass with which he can cover his private parts, then he should complete his prayer with bowing and prostration; but if he does not find anything to cover his private parts, then he should gesture while standing."

عَنْهُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَخْرُجُ عُرْيَاناً فَتُدْرِكُهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ قَالَ« يُصَلِّي عُرْيَاناً قَائِماً إِنْ لَمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ فَإِنْ رَآهُ أَحَدٌ صَلَّى جَالِساً»

From him, from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Ibn Muskan, from some of his companions: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding a man who goes out naked and the time of prayer comes upon him. Imam (a.s) said: "He should pray naked while standing if no one sees him; but if someone sees him, then he should pray sitting."

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْعَارِي اَلَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ ثَوْبٌ إِذَا وَجَدَ حُفْرَةً دَخَلَهَا وَ يَسْجُدُ فِيهَا وَ يَرْكَعُ»

From him, from Ayyub ibn Nuh, from some of his companions: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "The naked person who does not have a garment, if he finds a pit, he should enter it and perform prostration and bowing within it."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ مُرَازِمٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا مَعَهُ حَاضِرٌ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْحَاضِرِ يُصَلِّي فِي إِزَارِهِ مُؤْتَزِراً بِهِ قَالَ« يَجْعَلُ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ مِنْدِيلاً أَوْ عِمَامَةً يَتَرَدَّى بِهَا»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Hadid, from Jamil, said: Murazim asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, while I was present with Imam (a.s), about a man who is present (not traveling) and prays wearing only an izar (lower garment), wrapping it around his waist. Imam (a.s) said: "He can place cloth or turban over his neck and drape it over himself."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ سَرَاوِيلُ قَالَ« يَحُلُّ اَلتِّكَّةَ مِنْهُ فَيَطْرَحُهَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ وَيُصَلِّي» وَ قَالَ« وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ سَيْفٌ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ ثَوْبٌ فَلْيَتَقَلَّدِ اَلسَّيْفَ وَ يُصَلِّي قَائِماً»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, said: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, was asked about a man who has nothing with him except trousers. Imam (a.s) said: "He should untie its waistband and place it over his shoulder and pray." And Imam (a.s) said: "And if he has a sword with him and no garment, then he should hang the sword around his neck and pray standing."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَمْرَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ فِي سَرَاوِيلَ وَ قَلَنْسُوَةٍ قَالَ« لاَ يَصْلُحُ» وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلسَّرَاوِيلِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ مَكَانَ اَلْإِزَارِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, by Al-‘Amraki, by Ali ibn Ja‘far, by his brother (Imam) Musa ibn Ja‘far (a.s): I asked Imam (a.s) about a man, does it suffice for him to lead the prayer wearing trousers and a cap? Imam (a.s) said: "It does not suffice." And I asked Imam (a.s) about trousers, if they be used in place of izar (lower garment)? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَمَّ قَوْماً فِي قَمِيصٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ فَقَالَ« لاَ يَنْبَغِي إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ أَوْ عِمَامَةٌ يَرْتَدِي بِهَا»

Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who leads a group in prayer wearing a shirt without a cloak over it. Imam (a.s) said: "It is not appropriate unless he has a cloak or a turban with which he drapes himself."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْفَأْرَةِ اَلرَّطْبَةِ قَدْ وَقَعَتْ فِي اَلْمَاءِ فَتَمْشِي عَلَى اَلثِّيَابِ يُصَلَّى فِيهَا قَالَ« اِغْسِلْ مَا رَأَيْتَ مِنْ أَثَرِهَا وَ مَا لَمْ تَرَهُ اِنْضِحْهُ بِالْمَاءِ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Musa ibn Al-Qasim, from Ali ibn Ja‘far, from his brother (Imam) Musa (a.s), peace be upon him, said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a wet mouse that fell into water and then walked over clothes, may one pray in them? Imam (a.s) said: "Wash whatever trace of it you see, and what you do not see, sprinkle it with water."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ اَلْعَلَوِيِّ عَنِ اَلْعَمْرَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلدُّودِ يَقَعُ مِنَ اَلْكَنِيفِ عَلَى اَلثَّوْبِ أَ يُصَلَّى فِيهِ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَرَى أَثَراً فَتَغْسِلَهُ»

Muhammad ibn Ali, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad Al-‘Alawi, from Al-‘Amraki, from Ali ibn Ja‘far, from his brother (Imam) Musa ibn Ja‘far (a.s), peace be upon them both, said: I asked Imam (a.s) about worms (maggots, parasitic worms, or decomposition worms) that fall from the toilet onto the garment, may one pray in it? Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem unless you see a trace (of impurity), then you must wash it."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَنْهَى عَنْ لِبَاسِ اَلْحَرِيرِ لِلرِّجَالِ وَاَلنِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ مَخْلُوطٍ بِخَزٍّ لَحْمَتُهُ أَوْ سَدَاهُ خَزٌّ أَوْ كَتَّانٌ أَوْ قُطْنٌ وَ إِنَّمَا يُكْرَهُ اَلْحَرِيرُ اَلْمَحْضُ لِلرِّجَالِ وَ اَلنِّسَاءِ

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Al-‘Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf, from Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Fadalah ibn Ayyub, from Musa ibn Bakr, from Zurarah, said: I heard (Imam) Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, forbid the wearing of silk for both men and women, except for silk mixed with ‘khazz’ (a kind of fabric), the weft or the warp of which is ‘khazz’ or linen or cotton. Pure silk alone is disliked for both men and women.

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُبَّةَ صُوفٍ بَيْنَ ثَوْبَيْنِ غَلِيظَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ« رَأَيْتُ أَبِي يَلْبَسُهَا إِنَّا إِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ لَبِسْنَا أَخْشَنَ ثِيَابِنَا»

From him, from Al-‘Abbas, from Ali, from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il, from Muhammad ibn Husayn ibn Kathir, from his father, who said: I saw on Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, a woolen cloak between two coarse garments, so I asked Imam (a.s) about that. Imam (a.s) said: "I saw my father wearing it. Indeed, when we intend to pray, we wear the roughest of our clothes."

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلرَّيَّانِ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ هَلْ تَجُوزُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِي ثَوْبٍ يَكُونُ فِيهِ شَعْرٌ مِنْ شَعْرِ اَلْإِنْسَانِ وَ أَظْفَارُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْفُضَهُ وَ يُلْقِيَهُ عَنْهُ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« يَجُوزُ»

From him, from Ali ibn Al-Rayyan, who said: I wrote to Abu Al-Hasan (a.s), asking: “Is it permissible to pray in a garment that has in it human hair or fingernails, without shaking them off or removing them from it?” So Imam (a.s) wrote in response, peace be upon him: "It is permissible."

مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ جُلُودِ اَلثَّعَالِبِ إِذَا كَانَتْ ذَكِيَّةً أَ يُصَلَّى فِيهَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ»

Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Safwan, from Jamil, from Al-Hasan ibn Shihab, said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about fox skins, if they have been purified (lawfully slaughtered), may one pray in them? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes."

مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْخِفَافِ مِنَ اَلثَّعَالِبِ أَوِ اَلْجِرْزِ مِنْهُ أَ يُصَلَّى فِيهَا أَمْ لاَ قَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ ذَكِيّاً فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ»

Muhammad, from Ali ibn Al-Sindi, from Safwan, from Abdur-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj, said: I asked Him (a.s) about footwear made from foxes or garments from them, may one pray in them or not? Imam (a.s) said: "If it has been purified (lawfully slaughtered), then there is no problem with it."

قال محمد بن الحسن قد بينا الوجه في امثال هذين الخبرين فيما مضى فلا وجه لاعادته

Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan said: “We have already explained the interpretation of reports like these previously, so there is no need to repeat it.”

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَأْتِي اَلسُّوقَ فَيَشْتَرِي جُبَّةَ فِرَاءٍ لاَ يَدْرِي أَ ذَكِيَّةٌ هِيَ أَمْ غَيْرُ ذَكِيَّةٍ أَ يُصَلِّي فِيهَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلْمَسْأَلَةُ إِنَّ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اَلْخَوَارِجَ ضَيَّقُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِجَهَالَتِهِمْ إِنَّ اَلدِّينَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»»

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who goes to the market and buys a fur cloak but does not know whether it is from a lawfully slaughtered animal or not, may he pray in it? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes. You are not required to ask. Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, used to say: 'Indeed, the Khawarij imposed restrictions upon themselves out of their ignorance. Surely, the religion is broader than that.'"

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْ صُوفِ اَلْمَيْتَةِ إِنَّ اَلصُّوفَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ رُوحٌ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ وَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَقَلَّدُ اَلسَّيْفَ وَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَقَالَ اَلرَّجُلُ إِنَّ فِيهِ اَلْكَيْمُخْتَ فَقَالَ« وَمَا اَلْكَيْمُخْتُ» فَقَالَ جُلُودُ دَوَابَّ مِنْهُ مَا يَكُونُ ذَكِيّاً وَمِنْهُ مَا يَكُونُ مَيْتَةً فَقَالَ« مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ مَيْتَةٌ فَلاَ تُصَلِّ فِيهِ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Abdullah ibn Al-Mughirah, from Abdullah ibn Muskan, from Al-Halabi: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "There is no problem in praying in what is made from the wool of a carcass, for wool does not have a soul in it." Abdullah (ibn Muskan) said: “And Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated to me that a man asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, while I was with Imam (a.s), about a man who wears a sword around his neck and prays with it.” Imam (a.s) said: "Yes." So the man said: “There is ‘kaymukht’ in it.” Imam (a.s) said: "And what is ‘kaymukht’?" The man said: “Skins of animals, some of it is from a lawfully slaughtered animal, and some of it is from a carcass.” So Imam (a.s) said: "What you know to be from a carcass, do not pray in it."

سَعْدٌ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ مِنْدِيلٌ يُتَمَنْدَلُ بِهِ أَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَضَعَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ أَوْ يَتَّزِرَ بِهِ وَ يُصَلِّيَ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»

Sa‘d, from Al-Husayn ibn Ali, from Ahmad ibn Hilal, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman, from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: I said to Imam (a.s): “A cloth that is used for wiping, may a man place it on his shoulder or wrap it around his waist and pray in it?” Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem."

سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبْدِ اَلصَّالِحِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلْقَزِّ اَلْيَمَانِيِّ وَ فِيمَا صُنِعَ فِي أَرْضِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ» قُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا غَيْرُ أَهْلِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ اَلْغَالِبَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْمُسْلِمُونَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

Sa‘d, from Ayyub ibn Nuh, from Abdullah ibn Al-Mughirah, from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar, from the Righteous Servant (Abd al Salih (a.s)), peace be upon him: Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem in praying in Yemeni silk and in what is made in the lands of Islam." I said to Imam (a.s): “What if there are non-Muslims in it?” Imam (a.s) said: "If Muslims are predominant in it, then there is no problem."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اَلرَّيَّانِ بْنِ اَلصَّلْتِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ لُبْسِ فِرَاءِ اَلسَّمُّورِ وَ اَلسِّنْجَابِ وَ اَلْحَوَاصِلِ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهَا وَ اَلْمَنَاطِقِ وَ اَلْكَيْمُخْتِ وَ اَلْمَحْشُوِّ بِالْقَزِّ وَ اَلْخِفَافِ مِنْ أَصْنَافِ اَلْجُلُودِ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهَذَا كُلِّهِ إِلاَّ بِالثَّعَالِبِ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ziyad, from Al-Rayyan ibn Al-Salt, said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha, peace be upon him, about wearing furs of samur (sable), sinjab (squirrel), ‘hawasil’ (small animals with gathered pelts), and what resembles them, and about belts, cloaks (al-kaymukht), clothing padded with silk, and footwear made from various types of leather. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem with all of this, except for (what is made from) foxes (al-tha’alib)."

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 (a.s) about wearing ‘khazz’ (a type of fine fabric). Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem with it. Indeed, (Imam) Ali ibn Al-Husayn (a.s), peace be upon them both, used to wear a ‘khazz’ cloak in the winter, and when summer came, He (a.s) would sell it and give its price in charity. And He (Imam Ali ibn Husayn (a.s)) used to say: 'I feel ashamed before my Lord (azj) to eat from the price of a garment in which I worshipped Allah (swt).'"

عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اَلْأَحْمَرِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي وَ أَزْرَارُهُ مُحَلَّلَةٌ قَالَ« لاَ يَنْبَغِي ذَلِكَ»

From him, from Safwan, from Abdullah ibn Bukayr, from Ibrahim Al-Ahmari, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a man who prays while his buttons are undone. Imam (a.s) said: "That is not appropriate."

عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلشَّاذَكُونَةِ يُصِيبُهَا اَلاِحْتِلاَمُ أَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ« لاَ»

From him, from Safwan, from Abdullah ibn Bukayr, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about the ‘shadhakunah’ (a type of thick woolen or felt garment) that is affected by a wet dream, may one pray upon it? Imam (a.s) said: "No."

قال محمد بن الحسن هذا الخبر محمول على الاستحباب أو على انه إذا كانت النجاسة ربما كانت رطبة فلا يصلي عليها لئلا يتعدى ذلك إليه فاما إذا كانت يابسة يؤمن ذلك عليها فلا بأس بذلك والذي يدل على ذلك ما رواه

Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan said: “This report is to be understood as recommending precaution (it is mustahabb), or it applies to a case where the impurity might still be wet, so one should not pray upon it lest it transfer to him. But if it is dry and such transfer is not feared, then there is no problem with it.” What indicates this is what has been narrated:

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلشَّاذَكُونَةِ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهَا اَلْجَنَابَةُ أَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فِي اَلْمَحْمِلِ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Al-Hakam, from Aban ibn ‘Uthman, from Zurarah, from Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, said: I asked Imam (a.s) about the ‘shadhakunah’ (a type of felt or coarse cloth) upon which there is janabah (major ritual impurity) on it, is it permissible to pray on it in the litter (mahmil) (a type of carriage or travel seat)? Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem."

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ صَالِحٍ اَلنِّيلِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُصَلِّي عَلَى اَلشَّاذَكُونَةِ وَ قَدْ أَصَابَتْهَا اَلْجَنَابَةُ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»

From him, from Al-‘Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf, from Safwan, from Salih Al-Nili, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “May I pray upon the ‘shadhakunah’ (a thick or coarse cloth) while it has been affected by janabah (major ritual impurity)?” Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem."

سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْبَارِيَّةِ يُبَلُّ قَصَبُهَا بِمَاءٍ قَذِرٍ هَلْ يَجُوزُ اَلصَّلاَةُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ« إِذَا جَفَّتْ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِالصَّلاَةِ عَلَيْهَا»

Sa‘d, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammar ibn Musa Al-Sabati, said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about a ‘bariyyah’ (a mat) whose reeds were moistened with impure water, does it suffice to pray on it? Imam (a.s) said: "If it has dried, then there is no problem in praying on it."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمُصَلَّى وَ اَلْبِسَاطِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ تَمَاثِيلُ أَ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُصَلِّي أَمْ لاَ فَقَالَ« وَ اَللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ» وَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَ عِنْدَهُ بِسَاطٌ عَلَيْهِ تِمْثَالٌ فَقَالَ« أَ تَجِدُ هَاهُنَا مِثَالاً» فَقَالَ« لاَ تَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لاَ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Sa‘d ibn Isma‘il, from his father, said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha, peace be upon him, about a prayer mat or carpet that has figures on it, may one stand on it and pray or not? Imam (a.s) said: "By Allah (swt), I dislike that." And (Imam (a.s) was asked) regarding a man who entered upon another man who had a carpet with a figure on it. Imam (a.s) said: "Do you find an image here?" Then Imam (a.s) said: "Do not sit on it and do not pray on it."

قال محمد بن الحسن هذا الخبر محمول على الكراهية بدلالة ما قدمناه من الاخبار وأنه لا بأس بالقعود عليه والوقوف ما لم يسجد عليها ويزيد ذلك بيانا ما رواه

Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan said: “This report is to be understood as indicating ‘dislike’ (karahah), based on the reports we have already presented which state that there is no problem in sitting or standing upon such items, as long as one does not prostrate on them.” What further clarifies this is what has been narrated:

محمد بن احمد بن يحيى عن محمد بن الحسين عن الحسن ابن محبوب عن العلا عن محمد بن مسلم قال قلت لابي جعفر عليه السلام أصلي والتماثيل قدامي وانا انظر إليها؟ قال لا إطرح عليها ثوبا ولا بأس بها إذا كانت عن يمينك أو شمالك أو خلفك أو تحت رجلك أو فوق رأسك وإن كانت في القبلة فالق عليها ثوبا وصل

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Al-‘Ala’, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, said: I said to Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him: “I pray while the figures are in front of me and I am looking at them?” Imam (a.s) said: "No. Cast a cloth over them. There is no problem if they are to your right, or to your left, or behind you, or beneath your feet, or above your head. But if they are in the direction of the Qiblah, then cover them with a cloth and pray."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ اَلْمُنْذِرِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ اَلْحَمَّامِ أَوْ يَغْتَسِلُ فَيَتَوَشَّحُ وَيَلْبَسُ قَمِيصَهُ فَوْقَ اَلْإِزَارِ فَيُصَلِّي وَ هُوَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ« هَذَا عَمَلُ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَوَشَّحُ فَوْقَ اَلْقَمِيصِ فَقَالَ« هَذَا مِنَ اَلتَّجَبُّرِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ اَلْقَمِيصَ رَقِيقٌ يَلْتَحِفُ بِهِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ« إِنَّ حَلَّ اَلْأَزْرَارِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ اَلْخَذْفَ بِالْحَصَى وَمَضْغَ اَلْكُنْدُرِ فِي اَلْمَجَالِسِ وَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ اَلطَّرِيقِ مِنْ عَمَلِ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Al-Hakam, from Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah, who said: Ziyad ibn Al-Mundhir informed me, from Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, who said: A man asked Imam (a.s) while I was present about a man who comes out of the bathhouse or performs ghusl, then drapes a cloth over himself and wears his shirt over the ‘izar’ (lower garment), and prays in that state. Imam (a.s) said: "This is the practice of the people of Lot." I asked: “What if he drapes the cloth over the shirt?” Imam (a.s) said: "This is from arrogance." I asked: “The shirt is thin, so he wraps himself with it.” Imam (a.s) said: "Yes (that is acceptable)." Then Imam (a.s) said: "Indeed, unbuttoning one's shirt in prayer, flicking pebbles, chewing frankincense in gatherings, and sitting on the roadsides, all of this is from the actions of the people of Lot."

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ تُصَلِّي اَلْمَرْأَةُ عُطُلاً»

From him, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim, from his father: (Imam) Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "A woman should not pray uncovered."

عَنْهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عِيسَى قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ جُلُودِ اَلْفِرَاءِ يَشْتَرِيهَا اَلرَّجُلُ فِي سُوقٍ مِنْ أَسْوَاقِ اَلْجَبَلِ أَ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ ذَكَاتِهِ إِذَا كَانَ اَلْبَائِعُ مُسْلِماً غَيْرَ عَارِفٍ قَالَ« عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْهُ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ يَبِيعُونَ ذَلِكَ وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ يُصَلُّونَ فِيهِ فَلاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْهُ»

From him, from Sa‘d ibn Isma‘il, from his father Isma‘il ibn ‘Isa, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan (a.s), about the fur skins which a man buys in the market from the markets of the mountain region, should he ask about their slaughtering (dhakah) if the seller is a Muslim but not one of the ‘Arif’ (not a ‘shia’)? He said "It is upon you to ask about it if you see that the sellers are polytheists. But if you see that (people) are praying in it, then do not ask about it."

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْخَفَّافِ يَأْتِي اَلسُّوقَ فَيَشْتَرِي اَلْخُفَّ لاَ يَدْرِي أَ ذَكِيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ لاَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فِيهِ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَدْرِي أَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ أَنَا أَشْتَرِي اَلْخُفَّ مِنَ اَلسُّوقِ وَ يُصْنَعُ لِي وَ أُصَلِّي فِيهِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلْمَسْأَلَةُ»

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from Al-Ridha, peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about leather socks, if a man goes to the market and buys leather socks without knowing whether the leather is from a lawfully slaughtered animal or not, what do you say about praying in them while he does not know? Should he pray in them? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes. I buy leather socks from the market, and they are made for me, and I pray in them. And it is not obligatory upon you to ask."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلسَّيْفُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلرِّدَاءِ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ مَا لَمْ تَرَ فِيهِ دَماً وَ اَلْقَوْسُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلرِّدَاءِ»

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, by Ahmad, by his father, by Wahb ibn Wahb, from (Imam) Ja‘far (a.s): (Imam) Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "The sword is like a cloak, you may pray with it as long as you do not see blood on it. And the bow is like a cloak."

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ جُلُودِ اَلْخَزِّ فَقَالَ «هُوَ ذَا نَحْنُ نَلْبَسُ» فَقُلْتُ ذَاكَ اَلْوَبَرُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ« إِذَا حَلَّ وَبَرُهُ حَلَّ جِلْدُهُ»

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Barqi, from Sa‘d ibn Sa‘d, from Al-Ridha, peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about the skins of ‘khazz’ (a type of fine cloth or fabric). Imam (a.s) said: "Here we are, we wear it." I asked: “That is fur, may I be your ransom.” Imam (a.s) said: "When its fur is permissible, its skin is also permissible."

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمُ حَدِيدٍ قَالَ« لاَ وَلاَ يَتَخَتَّمُ بِهِ اَلرَّجُلُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ لِبَاسِ أَهْلِ اَلنَّارِ» وَقَالَ« لاَ يَلْبَسُ اَلرَّجُلُ اَلذَّهَبَ وَ لاَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ لِبَاسِ أَهْلِ اَلْجَنَّةِ» وَ عَنِ اَلثَّوْبِ يَكُونُ عَلَمُهُ دِيبَاجاً قَالَ« لاَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ» وَ عَنِ اَلثَّوْبِ يَكُونُ فِي عَلَمِهِ مِثَالُ طَيْرٍ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ أَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ« لاَ» وَ عَنِ اَلْمَوْضِعِ اَلْقَذِرِ يَكُونُ فِي اَلْبَيْتِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ فَلاَ تُصِيبُهُ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ لَكِنَّهُ قَدْ يَبِسَ اَلْمَوْضِعُ اَلْقَذِرُ قَالَ« لاَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَ أَعْلَمَ مَوْضِعَهُ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهُ» وَ عَنِ اَلشَّمْسِ هَلْ تُطَهِّرُ اَلْأَرْضَ قَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ اَلْمَوْضِعُ قَذِراً مِنْ بَوْلٍ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَأَصَابَتْهُ اَلشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ يَبِسَ اَلْمَوْضِعُ فَالصَّلاَةُ عَلَى اَلْمَوْضِعِ جَائِزَةٌ وَ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ لَمْ يَيْبَسِ اَلْمَوْضِعُ اَلْقَذِرُ وَ كَانَ رَطْباً فَلاَ تَجُوزُ اَلصَّلاَةُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَيْبَسَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ رِجْلُكَ رَطْبَةً أَوْ جَبْهَتُكَ رَطْبَةً أَوْ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ مِنْكَ مَا يُصِيبُ ذَلِكَ اَلْمَوْضِعَ اَلْقَذِرَ فَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اَلْمَوْضِعِ حَتَّى يَيْبَسَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ» وَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يَمْشِي حَافِياً وَ رِجْلُهُ رَطْبَةٌ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَتْ أَرْضُكُمْ مُبَلَّطَةً أَجْزَأَكُمُ اَلْمَشْيُ عَلَيْهَا» وَ قَالَ« أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَيَجُوزُ لَنَا ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ أَرْضَنَا مُبَلَّطَةٌ يَعْنِي مَفْرُوشَةً بِالْحَصَى» وَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَلْبَسُ اَلْخَاتَمَ فِيهِ نَقْشُ مِثَالِ اَلطَّيْرِ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ« لاَ تَجُوزُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِيهِ»

From him, by Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, by ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id, by Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, by ‘Ammar ibn Musa: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding a man who prays while wearing an iron ring. Imam (a.s) said: "No, and a man should not wear it, for it is from the dress of the people of the Fire." And Imam (a.s) said: "A man should not wear gold nor pray in it, for it is from the dress of the people of Paradise." And (Imam (a.s) was asked) about a garment that has a border of brocade. Imam (a.s) said: "He should not pray in it." And (Imam (a.s) was asked) about a garment whose border has the image of a bird or something else, may one pray in it? Imam (a.s) said: "No." And (Imam (a.s) was asked) about a filthy spot that is in the house or elsewhere and is not struck by sunlight but has dried. Imam (a.s) said: "He should not pray on it, and mark its place until he washes it." And (Imam (a.s) was asked) about the sun, does it purify the ground? Imam (a.s) said: "If the place is filthy from urine or something else, and the sun strikes it, and then the place dries, then prayer on that spot is permissible. But if the sun strikes it and the filthy place has not dried and remains wet, then it is not permissible to pray on it until it dries. And if your foot is wet, or your forehead is wet, or any other part of you touches that filthy place, then do not pray on that spot until it dries, for it is not permissible." And (Imam (a.s) was asked) about a man who performs wudhu and walks barefoot while his foot is wet. Imam (a.s) said: "If your ground is paved, then it is sufficient for you to walk on it." And Imam (a.s) said: "As for us, it is permissible for us, because our ground is paved", meaning, covered with gravel. And (Imam (a.s) was asked) about a man who wears a ring that has the engraved image of a bird or something else. Imam (a.s) said: "It is not permissible to pray with it."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «تُكْرَهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِي اَلثَّوْبِ اَلْمَصْبُوغِ اَلْمُشْبَعِ اَلْمُفْدَمِ»

Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Mu‘awiyah ibn Hakim, from Ibn Faddal, from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "Prayer is disliked in a heavily dyed, deeply colored, blood-red garment."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ اَلصَّلاَةَ فِي اَلْمُشْبَعِ بِالْعُصْفُرِ اَلْمُضَرَّجِ بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ

Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from his father, from Abdullah ibn Al-Mughirah, from someone who narrated to him, from Yazid ibn Khalifah, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: Imam (a.s) disliked prayer in a garment saturated with safflower and dyed with saffron.

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَمْرَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ طَرَفَيْ رِدَائِهِ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ قَالَ« لاَ يَصْلُحُ جَمْعُهُمَا عَلَى اَلْيَسَارِ وَ لَكِنِ اِجْمَعْهُمَا عَلَى يَمِينِكَ أَوْ دَعْهُمَا» قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْبَوَارِي يُصِيبُهَا اَلْبَوْلُ هَلْ تَصْلُحُ اَلصَّلاَةُ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا جَفَّتْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُغْسَلَ قَالَ« نَعَمْ لاَ بَأْسَ» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ عَلَى بَوَارِي اَلنَّصَارَى وَ اَلْيَهُودِ اَلَّذِينَ يَقْعُدُونَ عَلَيْهَا فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ أَ يَصْلُحُ قَالَ« لاَ تُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا» وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلسَّيْفِ هَلْ يَجْرِي مَجْرَى اَلرِّدَاءِ يُؤَمُّ اَلْقَوْمُ فِي اَلسَّيْفِ قَالَ« لاَ يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يُؤَمَّ اَلْقَوْمُ فِي اَلسَّيْفِ إِلاَّ فِي حَرْبٍ»

From him, from Al-‘Amraki, from Ali ibn Ja‘far, from his brother (Imam) Musa (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Him (a.s) about a man, does it suffice for him to gather the two ends of his cloak over his left shoulder? Imam (a.s) said: "It is not appropriate to gather them over the left shoulder; rather, gather them over your right shoulder, or leave them." He (narrator) said: “And I asked Imam (a.s) about reed mats (al-bawari’) that have been soiled with urine, does prayer on them suffice if they have dried without being washed?” Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, there is no problem." He (narrator) said: “And I asked Imam (a.s) about praying on the reed mats of Christians and Jews, upon which they sit in their homes, does it suffice?” Imam (a.s) said: "Do not pray on them." And I asked Imam (a.s) about the sword, does it take the place of the cloak, such that one may lead the people in prayer wearing only the sword? Imam (a.s) said: "It is not appropriate to lead people in prayer while wearing only the sword, except in battle."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلسَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي يَزِيدَ اَلْقَسْمِيِّ وَ قَسْمٌ حَيٌّ مِنَ اَلْيَمَنِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ جُلُودِ اَلدَّارِشِ اَلَّتِي يُتَّخَذُ مِنْهَا اَلْخِفَافُ فَقَالَ« لاَ تُصَلِّ فِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُدْبَغُ بِخُرْءِ اَلْكِلاَبِ»

Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Al-Sayyari, from Abu Yazid Al-Qasmi, and Qasm is a tribe from Yemen residing in Basrah, from Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha, peace be upon him: He (narrator) asked Imam (a.s) about the skins of ‘al-Darish’ (a type of animal) from which leather socks are made. Imam (a.s) said: "Do not pray in them, for they are tanned using dog feces."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ وَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى اَلرَّفِّ اَلْمُعَلَّقِ بَيْنَ نَخْلَتَيْنِ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ مُسْتَوِياً يَقْدِرُ عَلَى اَلصَّلاَةِ عَلَيْهِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ فِرَاشِ حَرِيرٍ وَ مِثْلِهِ مِنَ اَلدِّيبَاجِ وَ مُصَلَّى حَرِيرٍ وَ مِثْلِهِ مِنَ اَلدِّيبَاجِ يَصْلُحُ لِلرَّجُلِ اَلنَّوْمُ عَلَيْهِ وَاَلتُّكَأَةُ وَاَلصَّلاَةُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ« يَفْرُشُهُ وَ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ يَسْجُدُ عَلَيْهِ» وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي فِي مَسْجِدٍ حِيطَانُهُ كِوَاءٌ كُلُّهُ قِبْلَتُهُ وَجَانِبَاهُ وَاِمْرَأَتُهُ تُصَلِّي حِيَالَهُ يَرَاهَا وَلاَ تَرَاهُ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ» وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْبَوَارِي يُبَلُّ قَصَبُهَا بِمَاءٍ قَذِرٍ أَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا قَالَ« إِذَا يَبِسَتْ فَلاَ بَأْسَ» وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ صَلَّى وَ مَعَهُ دَبَّةٌ مِنْ جِلْدِ حِمَارٍ وَعَلَيْهِ نَعْلٌ مِنْ جِلْدِ حِمَارٍ هَلْ تُجْزِيهِ صَلاَتُهُ أَوْ عَلَيْهِ إِعَادَةٌ قَالَ« لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ وَهِيَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَخَوَّفَ عَلَيْهَا ذَهَابَهَا فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ وَ هِيَ مَعَهُ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Musa ibn Al-Qasim and Abu Qatadah together, from Ali ibn Ja‘far, from his brother (Imam) Musa ibn Ja‘far (a.s), peace be upon them both, said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man, may he pray on a platform (raf) suspended between two palm trees? Imam (a.s) said: "If it is level, and he is able to perform the prayer on it, then there is no harm." He (narrator) said: “And I asked Imam (a.s) about beds or rugs made of silk or its like from dibaj (brocade), and a prayer mat of silk or brocade, is it permissible for a man to sleep on it, recline on it, and pray on it?” Imam (a.s) said: "He may lay it out and stand on it, but he should not prostrate on it." And I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who prays in a mosque whose walls are all covered with embroidery (kiwa), the qiblah wall and both side walls, and his wife prays in front of him, so that he sees her but she does not see him. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem." And I asked Imam (a.s) about mats whose reeds were wetted with impure water, may one pray on them? Imam (a.s) said: "If they have dried, then there is no problem." And I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who prayed while having with him a saddle or other item made from donkey skin, and he was wearing sandals made from donkey skin, does his prayer suffice him or must he repeat it? Imam (a.s) said: "It is not proper for him to pray while it is with him unless he fears that it might be lost, then there is no problem in praying while it is with him."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي بَيْتِ اَلْحَمَّامِ قَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ مَوْضِعاً نَظِيفاً فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammar Al-Sabati, said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about praying in the bathhouse. Imam (a.s) said: "If it is a clean place, then there is no problem."

قال محمد بن الحسن الوجه في هذا الخبر أن نحمله على بيت المسلخ دون غيره من البيوت بدلالة ما قدمناه من الاخبار

Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan said: “The interpretation of this report is that it refers specifically to the changing room of the bathhouse, not to other areas within it, based on the indication of previously mentioned reports.”

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى اَلْعُبَيْدِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْمَاضِيَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ بَيْنَ اَلْقُبُورِ هَلْ تَصْلُحُ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»

From him, from Muhammad ibn Isa Al-‘Ubaydi, from Al-Husayn ibn Yaqtin, from his father Ali ibn Yaqtin, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Madi, peace be upon him, about praying between graves, does it suffice? Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ اَلْقُمِّيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْمَنَازِلُ اَلَّتِي يَنْزِلُهَا اَلنَّاسُ فِيهَا أَبْوَالُ اَلدَّوَابِّ وَاَلسِّرْجِينُ وَيَدْخُلُهَا اَلْيَهُودُ وَاَلنَّصَارَى كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِيهَا قَالَ« صَلِّ عَلَى ثَوْبِكَ»

Al-Husayn, from Fadalah, from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman, from ‘Amir ibn Nu‘aym Al-Qummi, said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “The places where people lodge, there are the urines of animals and manure, and Jews and Christians enter them, what should be done about praying in them?” Imam (a.s) said: "Pray upon your garment."

عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَخُوضُ اَلْمَاءَ فَتُدْرِكُهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فَقَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ فِي حَرْبٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُجْزِيهِ اَلْإِيمَاءُ وَإِنْ كَانَ تَاجِراً فَلْيُقِمْ وَلاَ يَدْخُلُهُ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ»

Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad, from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who wades into water and the time of prayer comes upon him. Imam (a.s) said: "If he is in battle, then gesturing suffices him; But if he is a merchant, then let him stop and not enter (the water) until he has prayed."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّا كُنَّا فِي اَلْبَيْدَاءِ فِي آخِرِ اَللَّيْلِ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ وَ اِسْتَكْتُ وَ أَنَا أَهُمُّ بِالصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ كَأَنَّهُ دَخَلَ قَلْبِي شَيْءٌ فَهَلْ يُصَلَّى فِي اَلْبَيْدَاءِ فِي اَلْمَحْمِلِ فَقَالَ «لاَ تُصَلِّ فِي اَلْبَيْدَاءِ» قُلْتُ وَ أَيْنَ حَدُّ اَلْبَيْدَاءِ فَقَالَ« كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا بَلَغَ ذَاتَ اَلْجَيْشِ جَدَّ فِي اَلْمَسِيرِ وَ لاَ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ مُعَرَّسَ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ» قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ أَيْنَ ذَاتُ اَلْجَيْشِ فَقَالَ« دُونَ اَلْحَفِيرَةِ بِثَلاَثَةِ أَمْيَالٍ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, said: I said to Abu Al-Hasan (a.s): “We were in Al-Bayda’ at the end of the night, so I performed wudu and used a tooth-stick (siwak), and I was about to pray, then something entered my heart (caused doubt), is it permissible to pray in Al-Bayda’ while in the litter (on the camel)?” Imam (a.s) said: "Do not pray in Al-Bayda’." I asked: “Where is the boundary of Al-Bayda’?” Imam (a.s) said: "Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, when He (a.s) reached Dhat Al-Jaysh, He (a.s) would quicken his pace and would not pray until He (a.s) reached the resting place of the Prophet (saws), peace be upon him and his family." I said to Imam (a.s): “And where is Dhat Al-Jaysh?” Imam (a.s) said: "Three miles before Al-Hafirah."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَخِيرِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ تَحْضُرُ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ اَلرَّجُلُ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ قَالَ« يَتَنَحَّى عَنِ اَلْجَوَادِّ يَمْنَةً وَ يَسْرَةً وَ يُصَلِّي»

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ayyub ibn Nuh, from Abu Al-Hasan Al-Akhir, peace be upon him, said: I said to Imam (a.s): “The time of prayer comes while a man is at Al-Bayda”. Imam (a.s) said: "Let him move away from the main paths to the right or the left, and then pray."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلصَّلاَةُ تُكْرَهُ فِي ثَلاَثَةِ مَوَاطِنَ مِنَ اَلطَّرِيقِ اَلْبَيْدَاءِ وَ هِيَ ذَاتُ اَلْجَيْشِ وَ ذَاتِ اَلصَّلاَصِلِ وَ ضَجْنَانَ» وَ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُصَلَّى بَيْنَ اَلظَّوَاهِرِ وَ هِيَ اَلْجَوَادُّ جَوَادُّ اَلطُّرُقِ وَ يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يُصَلَّى فِي اَلْجَوَادِّ»

Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Fadalah, from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "Prayer is disliked in three places along the road: Al-Bayda’, which is Dhat Al-Jaysh, and Dhat Al-Salasil, and Dajnan." And Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem in praying between the side roads (zawahir), meaning the side paths of the roads, but it is discouraged to pray on the main thoroughfares (al-jawad)"

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ تُصَلِّ فِي وَادِي اَلشُّقْرَةِ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Faddal, from some of our companions: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "Do not pray in the Valley of Al-Shuqrah."

محمد بن أحمد عن أحمد بن الحسن عن عمرو بن سعيد عن مصدق بن صدقة عن عمار الساباطي عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال سألته عن حد الطين الذي لا يسجد عليه ما هو؟ قال إذا غرق الجبهة ولم تثبت على الارض

Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammar Al-Sabati, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam (a.s): “What is the extent of wet mud upon which prostration is not valid?” Imam (a.s) said: "When the forehead sinks into it and does not remain firmly upon the ground."

سهل بن زياد عن ابن محبوب عن ابن رئاب عن جميل ابن صالح عن الفضيل بن يسار قال قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام أقوم في الصلاة فأرى قدامي في القبلة العذرة قال تنح عنها ما استطعت ولاتصل على الجواد

Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Ibn Mahbub, from Ibn Ri’ab, from Jamil ibn Salih, from Al-Fudayl ibn Yasar, said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “I stand in prayer and I see in front of me, in the direction of the Qiblah, excrement.” Imam (a.s) said: "Move away from it as much as you can, and do not pray on the roads."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ تُصَلِّ اَلْمَكْتُوبَةَ فِي اَلْكَعْبَةِ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Fadalah, from Al-‘Ala’, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the two (Imams (a.s)), peace be upon them: Imam (a.s) said: "Do not perform the obligatory prayer inside the Ka‘bah."

عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يُصَلِّي عَلَى أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ مُسْتَقْبِلَ اَلْقِبْلَةِ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»

From him, from Fadalah, from Al-Husayn ibn ‘Uthman, from Ibn Muskan, from Khalid ibn Abi Isma‘il, said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “A man prays on top of Abu Qubays (mountain), facing the Qiblah” Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلسَّلاَمِ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي اَلَّذِي تُدْرِكُهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ هُوَ فَوْقَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ« إِنْ قَامَ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَكِنْ يَسْتَلْقِي عَلَى قَفَاهُ وَ يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ وَيَعْقِدُ بِقَلْبِهِ اَلْقِبْلَةَ اَلَّتِي فِي اَلسَّمَاءِ اَلْبَيْتَ اَلْمَعْمُورَ وَ يَقْرَأُ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ غَمَّضَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ اَلسُّجُودُ عَلَى نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ»

Ali ibn Muhammad, from Ishaq ibn Muhammad, from Abd Al-Salam: (Imam) Al-Ridha, peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding one who is overtaken by the time of prayer while he is above the Ka‘bah. Imam (a.s) said: "If he stands, he will have no Qiblah; rather, he should lie on his back and raise his eyes toward the sky and direct his heart toward the Qiblah that is in the heavens, the ‘Bayt al-Ma‘mur’, and recite. When he intends to bow, he should close his eyes, and when he wants to raise his head from bowing, he should open his eyes. And the prostration is to be done in the same manner."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ حَدِيدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ اَلْأَزْدِيِّ قَالاَ: قُلْنَا لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلسَّطْحُ يُصِيبُهُ اَلْبَوْلُ وَ يُبَالُ عَلَيْهِ أَ يُصَلَّى فِي ذَلِكَ اَلْمَوْضِعِ فَقَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ تُصِيبُهُ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ اَلرِّيحُ وَ كَانَ جَافّاً فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ يُتَّخَذُ مَبَالاً»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Zurarah and Hadid ibn Hakim Al-Azdi, who said: We said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “The rooftop upon which urine has fallen and people urinate on it, may one pray in that place?” Imam (a.s) said: "If the sun and wind reach it and it is dry, then there is no problem with it, unless it is a place that is habitually used as a urinal."

محمد بن يحيى عن أحمد بن الحسن عن عمرو بن سعيد عن مصدق بن صدقة عن عمار الساباطي عن أبى عبد الله عليه السلام قال لا تصل في بيت فيه خمر أو مسكر

Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammar Al-Sabati: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "Do not pray in a house that contains wine or an intoxicant."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ إِنَّا لاَ نَدْخُلُ بَيْتاً فِيهِ صُورَةُ إِنْسَانٍ وَلاَ بَيْتاً يُبَالُ فِيهِ وَلاَ بَيْتاً فِيهِ كَلْبٌ»

Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad, from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad, from Al-Washsha’, from Aban, from ‘Amr ibn Khalid: Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, said: "Jibra’il, peace be upon him, said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (swt), we do not enter a house in which there is an image of a human being (image-making of animate beings), nor a house in which there is urination (filth left exposed), nor a house in which there is a dog (ritually impure, najis al-ʿayn).’"

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اَلْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ:« إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ إِنَّا مَعَاشِرَ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةِ لاَ نَدْخُلُ بَيْتاً فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَ لاَ تِمْثَالُ جَسَدٍ وَ لاَ إِنَاءٌ يُبَالُ فِيهِ»

Abu Ali Al-Ash‘ari, from Muhammad ibn Abd Al-Jabbar, from Safwan, from Ibn Muskan, from Muhammad ibn Marwan: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: “The Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, said: ‘Indeed, Jibra’il, peace be upon him, came to Me (saws) and said: ‘We, the company of angels, do not enter a house in which there is a dog (ritually impure, najis al-ʿayn), or a statue with a body (image-making of animate beings), or a vessel in which there is urination (filth left exposed).’"

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْجَبَّارِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ تُصَلِّ فِي بَيْتٍ فِيهِ مَجُوسِيٌّ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتٍ فِيهِ يَهُودِيٌّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٌّ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Muhammad ibn Abd Al-Jabbar, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Abu Jamilah: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: "Do not pray in a house in which there is a Magian, and there is no problem in praying in a house in which there is a Jew or a Christian."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْمَلِكِ اَلْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ اَلْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كُلُّمَا أَشْرَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلشَّمْسُ فَهُوَ طَاهِرٌ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Al-Hakam, from Uthman ibn Abd Al-Malik Al-Hadrami, from Abu Bakr Al-Hadrami, who said: Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, said to me: "O Abu Bakr (Al Hadrami), everything upon which the sun shines is pure."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى اَلْمُعَاذِيِّ عَنِ اَلطَّيَالِسِيِّ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ: أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْحَرَامِ فَأَقْعُدُ عَلَى رِجْلِيَ اَلْيُسْرَى مِنْ أَجْلِ اَلنَّدَى فَقَالَ« اُقْعُدْ عَلَى أَلْيَتَيْكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ فِي اَلطِّينِ»

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Yahya Al-Mu‘adhi, from Al-Tayalisi, from Sayf ibn Umayrah, from Ishaq, from Sa‘d ibn Abdullah, who said: He (ibn Abdullah) said to (Imam) Ja‘far ibn Muhammad (a.s), peace be upon him: “I pray in Al-Masjid Al-Haram and I sit on my left leg because of the dampness (al-nada).” Imam (a.s) said: "Sit on your buttocks (al-yatayn), even if you are in the mud."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي قَالَ« يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ كُومَةٌ مِنْ تُرَابٍ أَوْ يَخُطُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِخَطٍّ»

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Musa ibn ‘Amr, from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il: (Imam) Al-Ridha (a.s), peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding a man who is praying. Imam (a.s) said: "There should be in front of him a small mound of soil, or he should draw a line in front of himself."

عَنْهُ عَنْ بُنَانِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَقْطَعُ اَلصَّلاَةَ قَالَ« عَبَثُ اَلرَّجُلِ بِلِحْيَتِهِ»

From him, from Bunan ibn Muhammad, from Muhassin ibn Ahmad, from Yunus ibn Ya‘qub, from Maslamah ibn ‘Ata’, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s): "What thing cuts (invalidates) the prayer?" Imam (a.s) said: "A man’s fiddling with his beard."

قال محمد بن الحسن هذا الخبر محمول على التغليظ لانا قد بينا ان العبث باللحية مما ينقص الصلاة لا مما ينقضها

Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan said: “This report is to be understood as severe discouragement (taghliz), because we have already clarified that fiddling with the beard diminishes the quality of the prayer, but does not invalidate it.”

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَمْرَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ بِهِ اَلثُّؤْلُولُ أَوِ اَلْجُرْحُ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ اَلثُّؤْلُولَ وَهُوَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ أَوْ يَنْتِفَ بَعْضَ لَحْمِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ اَلْجُرْحِ وَيَطْرَحَهُ قَالَ« إِنْ لَمْ يَتَخَوَّفْ أَنْ يَسِيلَ اَلدَّمُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ وَ إِنْ تَخَوَّفَ أَنْ يَسِيلَ اَلدَّمُ فَلاَ يَفْعَلْهُ» وَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَشَجَّهُ فَسَالَ اَلدَّمُ فَانْصَرَفَ فَغَسَلَهُ وَ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى اَلْمَسْجِدِ هَلْ يَعْتَدُّ بِمَا صَلَّى أَوْ يَسْتَقْبِلُ اَلصَّلاَةَ قَالَ« يَسْتَقْبِلُ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ لاَ يَعْتَدُّ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا صَلَّى»

From him, from Al-‘Amraki, from Ali ibn Ja‘far, from his brother (Imam) Musa ibn Ja‘far (a.s), peace be upon them both, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who has a wart or a wound, may he remove the wart during his prayer or pluck some flesh from that wound and throw it away? Imam (a.s) said: "If he does not fear that blood will flow, then there is no problem. But if he fears that blood will flow, then he should not do it." And I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who, while in prayer, was struck by someone who caused a gash and blood flowed, so he left the prayer, washed it, and did not speak until he returned to the mosque, does he count what he already prayed or must he start over? Imam (a.s) said: "He must start the prayer from the beginning and not count anything of what he already prayed."

عَنْهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ:« إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ بِأَرْضِ فَلاَةٍ فَلْيَجْعَلْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلَ مُؤْخِرَةِ اَلرَّحْلِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَحَجَراً فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَسَهْماً فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيَخُطَّ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ»

From him, from Ibrahim ibn Hashim, from Al-Nawfali, from Al-Sakuni, from (Imam) Ja‘far (a.s), from his father (a.s), from his forefathers (a.s), peace be upon them, who said: The Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, said: "If one of you prays in an open desert, let him place in front of him something like the rear of a saddle. If he does not find that, then a stone; if he does not find that, then an arrow; and if he does not find that, then let him draw a line in the ground in front of him."

أحمد بن محمد عن أبيه عن عبد الله بن سنان عن غياث عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام ان النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وضع قلنسوة وصلى إليها

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Ghiyath: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, narrated that the Prophet (saws), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, placed a cap (‘qalansuwah’) and prayed facing it.

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« اَلْمَرْأَةُ تُصَلِّي خَلْفَ زَوْجِهَا اَلْفَرِيضَةَ وَ اَلتَّطَوُّعَ وَ تَأْتَمُّ بِهِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ»

Ali ibn Mahziyar, from Hammad ibn ‘Isa, from Hariz, from Al-Fudayl: Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, said: "A woman may pray behind her husband, both the obligatory and the recommended prayers, and she may follow him in the prayer."

أَحْمَدُ عَنِ اَلْحَجَّالِ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْمَرْأَةِ تُصَلِّي عِنْدَ اَلرَّجُلِ قَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا حَاجِزٌ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

Ahmad, from Al-Hajjal, from Al-‘Ala’, from Muhammad ibn Muslim: Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding a woman who prays near a man. Imam (a.s) said: "If there is a barrier between them, then there is no problem."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ بِحِذَاهُ أَوْ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ سُجُودُهَا مَعَ رُكُوعِهِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Ibn Faddal, from someone who informed him, from Jamil: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding a man who is praying and a woman is beside him or next to him. Imam (a.s) said: "If her prostration occurs at the time of his bowing, then there is no problem."

عَنْهُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تُصَلِّي عِنْدَ اَلرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ« لاَ تُصَلِّي اَلْمَرْأَةُ بِحِيَالِ اَلرَّجُلِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ قُدَّامَهَا وَ لَوْ بِصَدْرِهِ»

From him, from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from ‘Umar ibn Udhaynah, from Zurarah, from Abu Ja‘far, peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a woman praying near a man. Imam (a.s) said: "A woman should not pray directly in line with a man, unless he is in front of her, even if only by the length of his chest."

محمد بن مسعود العياشي عن جعفر بن محمد قال حدثني العمركي عن علي بن جعفر عن أخيه موسى قال سألته عن إمام كان في الظهر فقامت امرأة بحياله تصلي وهي تحسب انها العصر هل يفسد ذلك على القوم؟ وما حال المرأة في صلاتها معهم وقد كانت صلت الظهر؟ قال لا يفسد ذلك على القوم وتعيد المرأة

Muhammad ibn Mas‘ud Al-‘Ayyashi, from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, who said: Al-‘Amraki narrated to me from Ali ibn Ja‘far, from his brother (Imam) Musa (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about an imam (of prayer) who was leading the Dhuhr prayer, and a woman stood beside him praying, thinking it was the ‘Asr prayer, does that invalidate the prayer of the group? And what is the ruling for the woman in her prayer with them, given that she had already prayed Dhuhr? Imam (a.s) said: "It does not invalidate the prayer of the congregation, but the woman must repeat her prayer."
