4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Najran from ‘Asem ibn Humayd from Muhammad ibn Qays who has narrated the following
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said to His Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, ‘O Prophet, why do you make unlawful what Allah has made lawful for you.’ ‘Allah has shown you how to absolve yourselves of your oaths.’ (66:1-2) He made it an oath and the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, then paid expiation for it.’ I then asked, ‘By what means did he pay the expiation thereof?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He fed ten destitute people one mud (a certain measurement) to each person.’ We then asked about the limit of clothing. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is such clothing which provides cover for his privacy.’”
4- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ ما أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَكَ قَدْ فَرَضَ اللهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ أَيْمانِكُمْ فَجَعَلَهَا يَمِيناً وَكَفَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قُلْتُ بِمَا كَفَّرَ قَالَ أَطْعَمَ عَشَرَةَ مَسَاكِينَ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدٌّ قُلْنَا فَمَا حَدُّ الْكِسْوَةِ قَالَ ثَوْبٌ يُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتَهُ.
