5. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-‘Is ibn al-Qasim from abu Dawud, Yusuf ibn Ibrahim who has said the following
“I once visited abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and I was wearing a gown of al-Khazz (skin or fur of an animal that lives in water) with its lining of al-Khazz, a Taylisan (pallium) of al-Khazz of very fine texture. I then said, ‘I am wearing a kind of clothing which I do not like.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Why is that so?’ I replied, ‘It is this Taylisan.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What is the matter with it?’ I replied, ‘It is of al-Khazz.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What is wrong with al-Khazz?’ I then said, ‘Its warp is of abrisam (silk from silk worm).’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What is wrong with abrisam? It is not detestable if its warp is of abrisam, or its buttons or its emblems. Only all abrisam is detestable for men, and not for women.’”
أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعِيصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَلَيَّ قَبَاءُ خَزٍّ وَ بِطَانَتُهُ خَزٌّ وَ طَيْلَسَانُ خَزٍّ مُرْتَفِعٌ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ ثَوْباً أَكْرَهُ لُبْسَهُ فَقَالَ وَ مَا هُوَ قُلْتُ طَيْلَسَانِي هَذَا قَالَ وَ مَا بَالُ الطَّيْلَسَانِ قُلْتُ هُوَ خَزٌّ قَالَ وَ مَا بَالُ الْخَزِّ قُلْتُ سَدَاهُ إِبْرِيسَمٌ قَالَ وَ مَا بَالُ الْإِبْرِيسَمِ قَالَ لَا يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ سَدَى الثَّوْبِ إِبْرِيسَماً وَ لَا زِرُّهُ وَ لَا عَلَمُهُ إِنَّمَا يُكْرَهُ الْمُصْمَتُ مِنَ الْإِبْرِيسَمِ لِلرِّجَالِ وَ لَا يُكْرَهُ لِلنِّسَاءِ .
