قُلْتُ لَهُ أَسْجُدُ عَلَى الزِّفْتِ يَعْنِي الْقِيرَ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَا عَلَى الثَّوْبِ الْكُرْسُفِ وَ لَا عَلَى الصُّوفِ وَ لَا عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانِ وَ لَا عَلَى طَعَامٍ وَ لَا عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الرِّيَاشِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Can I perform <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span> upon the asphalt, meaning the synthetic fabric (plastic/petroleum based)?’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, and neither upon the cloth, nor the cotton pads, nor upon the wool, nor upon anything from the animals, nor upon food, nor upon anything from the fruits of the earth, nor upon anything from the feathers’.
