رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) صَلَّى فِي إِزَارٍ وَاحِدٍ لَيْسَ بِوَاسِعٍ قَدْ عَقَدَهُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا تَرَى لِلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي فِي قَمِيصٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ كَثِيفاً فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَ الْمَرْأَةُ تُصَلِّي فِي الدِّرْعِ وَ الْمِقْنَعَةِ إِذَا كَانَ الدِّرْعُ كَثِيفاً يَعْنِي إِذَا كَانَ سَتِيراً قُلْتُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ الْأَمَةُ تُغَطِّي رَأْسَهَا إِذَا صَلَّتْ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْأَمَةِ قِنَاعٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I saw Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> praying <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in one loin cloth, not very long, having been tied upon his<sup>asws</sup> neck. So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What is your<sup>asws</sup> view of the man who prays <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in one shirt?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When it was thick, so there is no problem with it; and the woman can pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in the loose outer garment and the scarf when the outer garment was thick, meaning when it was veiling’. I said, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> have Mercy on you<sup>asws</sup>! Should the slave girl cover her head when she prays <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A scarf is not upon the slave girl (to wear)’.
