كَتَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ يَسْأَلُهُ يَعْنِي أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ الْمَدَنِيَّةِ فَكَتَبَ صَلِّ فِيهَا مَا كَانَ مَعْمُولًا بِخُيُوطَةٍ وَ لَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مَعْمُولًا بِسُيُورَةٍ قَالَ فَتَوَقَّفَ أَصْحَابُنَا فَأَنْشَدْتُهُمْ بَيْتَ شِعْرٍ لِتَأَبَّطَ شَرّاً الْعَدْوَانِيِّ . كَأَنَّهَا خُيُوطَةُ مَارِيٍّ تُغَارُ وَ تُفْتَلُ وَ مَارِيٌّ كَانَ رَجُلًا حَبَّالًا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ الْخُيُوطَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, and someone else, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Al Rayyan who said, ‘One of our companions wrote to him<sup>asws</sup> by the hand of Ibrahim Bin Uqba, asking him<sup>asws</sup>, meaning Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, about the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> upon the ‘Khumra’ (a small piece of flax to perform <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span> upon) of Al-Medina. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘Pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in whatever was woven with threads, but do not pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> upon whatever was woven with (leather) stripes’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Our companions differed, so I composed a poem of Taabat Al-Adwany – It is like the threads of Marie twisted and attached’. And Marie was a man who was a weaver, and used to work with the threads’.
