فَلَمَّا نَفَذَ كِتَابِي إِلَيْهِ تَفَكَّرْتُ وَ قُلْتُ هُوَ مِمَّا أَنْبَتَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ مَا كَانَ لِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ لَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى الزُّجَاجِ وَ إِنْ حَدَّثَتْكَ نَفْسُكَ أَنَّهُ مِمَّا أَنْبَتَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ لَكِنَّهُ مِنَ الْمِلْحِ وَ الرَّمْلِ وَ هُمَا مَمْسُوخَانِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn that, ‘One of our companions wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Maazy<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) asking him<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> upon the glass. He said: ‘So when my letter was implemented to go to him<sup>asws</sup>, I thought and said (to myself), ‘It (glass) is from what the earth grows and it is not for me that I should be asking him<sup>asws</sup> about it’. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote to me: ‘You cannot pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> upon the glass, and that you discussed it with yourself (thought about), it is from what the earth grows, but, it is from the salt and the sand, and they have both been metamorphosed’.
