John Shaqi

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَكُونُ لِي ثَلَاثَةُ أَقْمِصَةٍ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قَالَ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ عَشَرَةً فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ يُوَدِّعُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً قُلْتُ بَلَى وَ لَوْ كُنْتُ إِنَّمَا أَلْبَسُ وَاحِداً لَكَانَ أَقَلَّ بَقَاءً قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ .


Translation

And by this chain, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘There happen to be three shirts for me’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’. So he did not cease (numbering) until it reached ten. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do they not make each other last longer?’ I said, ‘Yes, and were I to wear one, it would last for a little (while)’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem’.
