كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مُتَّكِئاً عَلَيَّ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى أَبِي فَلَقِيَهُ عَبَّادُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ وَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ مَرْوِيَّةٌ حِسَانٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ كَانَ أَبُوكَ وَ كَانَ فَمَا هَذِهِ الثِّيَابُ الْمَرْوِيَّةُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَوْ لَبِسْتَ دُونَ هَذِهِ الثِّيَابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَيْلَكَ يَا عَبَّادُ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِذَا أَنْعَمَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ نِعْمَةً أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَرَاهَا عَلَيْهِ لَيْسَ بِهَا بَأْسٌ وَيْلَكَ يَا عَبَّادُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَضْعَةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَلَا تُؤْذِنِي وَ كَانَ عَبَّادٌ يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبَيْنِ قِطْرِيَّيْنِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Ibn Al Qadah who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was leaning upon me’, or said, ‘Upon my father’, so Abbad Bin Kaseer Al Basry came over and upon him<sup>asws</sup> were clothes of Merv (a city), so he said, ‘O Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>! You<sup>asws</sup> are from the People<sup>asws</sup> of the Household of the Prophet-hood, and your<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> was what he<sup>asws</sup> was, so what are these Mervian clothes upon you<sup>asws</sup>? If only you<sup>asws</sup> would wear besides these clothes’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Woe be unto you, O Abbad! <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:7#h32"><a href="/books/quran:7#h32">[7:32]</a></a> Say: Who has prohibited the adornments of Allah which He has Brought forth for His servants and the good provisions?</span> When Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Favours upon His<sup>azwj</sup> servant with a Bounty Loves that He<sup>azwj</sup> Sees it upon him. There is no problem with it. Woe be unto you, O Abbad! But rather, I<sup>asws</sup> am a part of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, therefore do not hurt me<sup>asws</sup>’. And it was so that Abbad had worn two Qatary (a city) clothes’.
