إِنَّ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ عِنْدَكُمْ فَأَتَى بَنِي دِيوَانٍ وَ اشْتَرَى ثَلَاثَةَ أَثْوَابٍ بِدِينَارٍ الْقَمِيصَ إِلَى فَوْقِ الْكَعْبِ وَ الْإِزَارَ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ وَ الرِّدَاءَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى ثَدْيَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ إِلَى أَلْيَتَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا كَسَاهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا اللِّبَاسُ الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ يَلْبَسُوهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ لَكِنْ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يَلْبَسُوا هَذَا الْيَوْمَ وَ لَوْ فَعَلْنَاهُ لَقَالُوا مَجْنُونٌ وَ لَقَالُوا مُرَاءٍ وَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ وَ ثِيابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ قَالَ وَ ثِيَابَكَ ارْفَعْهَا وَ لَا تَجُرَّهَا وَ إِذَا قَامَ قَائِمُنَا كَانَ هَذَا اللِّبَاسَ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, from Ahmad Bin Aiz, from Abu Khadeeja, from Moala Bin Khunays, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup> was among you all, so he<sup>asws</sup> went over to the Clan of Deywan and bought three garments with one Dinar – the shirt which was up to above the heel, and the trouser up to the half of the leg, and the cloak from his<sup>asws</sup> front was up to his chest, and from behind him<sup>asws</sup> was up to his<sup>asws</sup> lower back. Then he<sup>asws</sup> raised his<sup>asws</sup> hands towards the sky, and he<sup>asws</sup> did not cease to Praise Allah<sup>azwj</sup> what He<sup>azwj</sup> has Clothed him<sup>asws</sup> with until he<sup>asws</sup> entered his<sup>asws</sup> house. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is the dress which is befitting for the Muslims that they should be wearing it’. Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But we<sup>asws</sup> are not able to wear it today, and were we<sup>asws</sup> to do it, they would say, ‘Insane’, and they would say, ‘Show-off’, and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the High is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:74#h4"><a href="/books/quran:74#h4">[74:4]</a></a> And your garments do purify</span>’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And your clothes, raise these and do not let it flow (upon the ground), and when our<sup>asws</sup> Qaim<sup>asws</sup> rises, this would be the clothing’.
