Al-Kafi 12491

Translation

A number of our copanions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Hassan Al Sayqal who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws said to me: ‘Would you like me^asws to show you the shirt of Ali^asws in which he^asws was struck, or I^asws show you^asws his^asws blood?’ I said, ‘Yes’. So he^asws called for it, and it was in a basket. So he^asws extracted it and displayed it. It was a cotton-like shirt resembling <span class="iTxt">Al-Sunbulany</span> (made in), and there was in the spot of the pocket up to the ground a stain of blood whiter than the milk, resembling a stroke of the sword. He^asws said: ‘This is the shirt of Ali^asws in which he^asws was struck, and these are the traces of his^asws blood’. So I measured its body by the open palm (<span class="iTxt">Shibr</span>), so it was three open-palm’s width and I measured its bottom by the open palm (<span class="iTxt">Shibr</span>), so it was twelve open-palm’s length’.
