Hadith 1874
۞
9. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from ai-Washsha’ from ‘Abd Aifah ibn Sinan who has said the following
“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘When I was in tawaf (walking around al- Ka‘bah) someone pulled my dress and he was ‘Abbad ibn Kathir al-Basriy saying, “O Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, you wear this kind of dress and your position to Ali (a.s.), is so close.’” I said, ‘It is a material made in Furqubiy (a place in Egypt) which I have bought for a dinar. Ali (a.s.), lived in a time when his kind of dress was suitable for him and if I wear that kind of dress now people will say, “He is another show off like ‘Abbad.’””
الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ بَيْنَا أَنَا فِي الطَّوَافِ وَ إِذَا بِرَجُلٍ يَجْذِبُ ثَوْبِي وَ إِذَا هُوَ عَبَّادُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ تَلْبَسُ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الثِّيَابِ وَ أَنْتَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ مَعَ الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ ثَوْبٌ فُرْقُبِيٌّ اشْتَرَيْتُهُ بِدِينَارٍ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) فِي زَمَانٍ يَسْتَقِيمُ لَهُ مَا لَبِسَ فِيهِ وَ لَوْ لَبِسْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ اللِّبَاسِ فِي زَمَانِنَا لَقَالَ النَّاسُ هَذَا مُرَاءٍ مِثْلُ عَبَّادٍ .
