سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ مَعَهُ السِّكِّينُ فِي خُفِّهِ لَا يَسْتَغْنِي عَنْهَا أَوْ فِي سَرَاوِيلِهِ مَشْدُوداً وَ الْمِفْتَاحُ يَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ الضَّيْعَةَ أَوْ فِي وَسَطِهِ الْمِنْطَقَةُ فِيهَا حَدِيدٌ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالسِّكِّينِ وَ الْمِنْطَقَةِ لِلْمُسَافِرِ فِي وَقْتِ ضَرُورَةٍ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْمِفْتَاحُ يَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ فِي النِّسْيَانِ وَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالسَّيْفِ وَ كَذَلِكَ آلَةُ السِّلَاحِ فِي الْحَرْبِ وَ فِي غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ لَا تَجُوزُ الصَّلَاةُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْحَدِيدِ فَإِنَّهُ نَجَسٌ مَمْسُوخٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from one of our companions, from Ali BinUqba, from Musa Bin Akeyl Al Nameyri, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who happens to be in the journey, and with him is a knife in his socks or in his trouser, not being able to do without it, tightened, and the key he is fearing upon losing it, or in his waist is the belt wherein is iron. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with the knife and the belt for the traveller during a time of desperation, and similar to that is the key he is fearing upon, or regarding forgetfulness; and there is no problem with the sword, and similar to that is the reason for the weapon during the war etc. The <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> is not allowed during anything from the iron, for it is unclean, transformed’.
