قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ ما أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ قَدْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ أَيْمانِكُمْ فَجَعَلَهَا يَمِيناً وَ كَفَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قُلْتُ بِمَا كَفَّرَ قَالَ أَطْعَمَ عَشَرَةَ مَسَاكِينَ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدٌّ قُلْنَا فَمَا حَدُّ الْكِسْوَةِ قَالَ ثَوْبٌ يُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Muhammad Bin Qays who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Said to His<sup>azwj</sup> Prophet<sup>saww</sup>: “<span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:66#h1"><a href="/books/quran:66#h1">[66:1]</a></a> O Prophet! Do not deny (yourself) that which Allah has made lawful for you <a href="/#/books/quran:66#h2"><a href="/books/quran:66#h2">[66:2]</a></a> Allah indeed has Sanctioned for you the expiation of your oaths</span>. So He<sup>azwj</sup> Made it to be an oath, and Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> expiated it’. I said, ‘With what did he<sup>saww</sup> expiate?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He<sup>saww</sup> fed ten poor, for each poor being a handful’. We said, ‘So what is the limit of the clothing?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A cloth by which his nakedness can be covered’.
