سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْفِرَاءِ قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( صلوات الله عليه ) رَجُلًا صَرِداً لَا تُدْفِئُهُ فِرَاءُ الْحِجَازِ لِأَنَّ دِبَاغَتَهَا بِالْقَرَظِ فَكَانَ يَبْعَثُ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ فَيُؤْتَى مِمَّا قِبَلَهُمْ بِالْفَرْوِ فَيَلْبَسُهُ فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَلْقَاهُ وَ أَلْقَى الْقَمِيصَ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ فَكَانَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ لِبَاسَ الْجُلُودِ الْمَيْتَةِ وَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ دِبَاغَهُ ذَكَاتُهُ .


Translation

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Is’haq Al Alawy, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from Aysam Bn Aslam Al Najjashy, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in the furs. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It was so that Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> was sensitive to cold. The furs of Al-Hijaz were not sufficiently (warm) for him<sup>asws</sup> because its tanning was it with tree sap. So he<sup>asws</sup> used to send someone to Al-Iraq, and he would come with it from what was accepted to him<sup>asws</sup> with the furs, and he<sup>asws</sup> would wear it. So when the (time for) <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> came up, he<sup>asws</sup> would remove it and remove the shirt which was underneath it. So he<sup>asws</sup> was asked about that, and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The people of Al-Iraq are considering as Permissible, wearing the skins of the dead (animals), and they are claiming that tanning it, purifies it’.
