إِنَّ مُرَاداً بَعَثَ بِبَدَنَةٍ وَ أَمَرَ أَنْ تُقَلَّدَ وَ تُشْعَرَ فِي يَوْمِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّمَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ لَا يَلْبَسَ الثِّيَابَ فَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بِالْحِيرَةِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ مُرَاداً صَنَعَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَتْرُكَ الثِّيَابَ لِمَكَانِ زِيَادٍ فَقَالَ مُرْهُ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ الثِّيَابَ وَ لْيَذْبَحْ بَقَرَةً يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى عَنْ نَفْسِهِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Haroun Bin Kharjat who said, ‘Murada sent his sacrificial animal and instructed that it be yoked and marked on such and such a day. So I said to him, ‘But rather, it is befitting that you do not wear the (normal) clothes’. So he sent me to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> at Al-Hira, and I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Murada did such and such, and he did not have the capacity that he neglects the (normal) clothing due to Ziyad’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Instruct him that he should wear the (normal) clothes, and let him slaughter a cow on the day of the slaughtering from himself’.
