دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَلَيَّ خُفٌّ مَقْشُورٌ فَقَالَ يَا زِيَادُ مَا هَذَا الْخُفُّ الَّذِي أَرَاهُ عَلَيْكَ قُلْتُ خُفٌّ اتَّخَذْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْبِيضَ مِنَ الْخِفَافِ يَعْنِي الْمَقْشُورَةَ مِنْ لِبَاسِ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَ هُمْ أَوَّلُ مَنِ اتَّخَذَهَا وَ الْحُمْرَ مِنْ لِبَاسِ الْأَكَاسِرَةِ وَ هُمْ أَوَّلُ مَنِ اتَّخَذَهَا وَ السُّودَ مِنْ لِبَاسِ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ سُنَّةٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhamamd Bin Sinan, from Ziyad Bin Al Munzar who said, ‘I went over to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> and upon me were decorated socks, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Ziyad! What are these socks which I<sup>asws</sup> see to be upon you?’ I said, ‘Socks which I have taken to’. So He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But, do you know that the white is from the footwear, meaning the decorated ones, from the apparels of the tyrants, and they are the first ones to take to it; and the red is from the apparels of Caesars, and they are the first one to take to these; and the black are from the apparels of the Clan of Hashim<sup>as</sup>, and a Sunnah’.
