Al-Kafi 7252

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Al Musanna Al Khattab, from Muhammad Bin al Fuzayl, and Bishr Bin Ismail who said, ‘Muhammad Bin Ismail said to me, ‘Shall I cheer you up O son of Musanna?’ I said, ‘Yes’, and I arose to him. This indecent man entered just nowhere, so he sat nearby Abu Al-Hassan^asws. Then he turned facing him^asws and he said to him^asws, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan^asws! What are you^asws saying regarding the one in <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>, can he shade himself in the carriage?’ So he^asws said to him: ‘No’. He said, ‘So can he shade in the tent?’ So he^asws said to him; ‘Yes’. So he repeated the words to him^asws, like scoffing, laughing, saying, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan^asws! So what is the difference between this and this?’ So he^asws said: ‘O Abu Yusuf! The Religion is not by the analogy like your analogies. You all are playing with the Religion. We^asws are doing just as Rasool-Allah^saww did, and we^asws say what Rasool-Allah^saww said. Rasool-Allah^saww used to ride upon his animal, so he^saww did not shade himself^saww upon it, and the sun bothered him^saww. So he^saww used to veil part of his^saww body with the other parts. Sometimes he^saww would veil his face with his^saww hands, and when he^saww encamped, he^saww shaded in the tent, and in the house, and by the wall’.
