Ahmad Bin Idrees...
Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Al Sayyari, from Abu Yazeed Al Qasmy, and Qasam, it is a village on the way from Al Yemen with Al Basra, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza -asws , having been asked about the skins of ‘Al-Darish’ from which shoes are made. So he -asws said: ‘You cannot pray Salāt in it, for it is tanned with the excretion of dogs’.
[7] عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ قَالَ كَتَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ يَسْأَلُهُ يَعْنِي أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ الْمَدَنِيَّةِ فَكَتَبَ صَلِّ فِيهَا مَا كَانَ مَعْمُولًا بِخُيُوطَةٍ وَ لَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مَعْمُولًا بِسُيُورَةٍ Ali Bin Muhammad, and someone else, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Al Rayyan who said, ‘One of our companions wrote to him -asws by the hand of Ibrahim Bin Uqba, asking him -asws , meaning Abu Ja’far -asws , about the Salāt upon the ‘Khumra’ (a small piece of flax to perform Sajdah upon) of Al-Medina.
So he -asws wrote: ‘Pray Salāt in whatever was woven with threads, but do not pray Salāt upon whatever was woven with (leather) stripes’. قَالَ فَتَوَقَّفَ أَصْحَابُنَا فَأَنْشَدْتُهُمْ بَيْتَ شِعْرٍ لِتَأَبَّطَ شَرّاً الْعَدْوَانِيِّ . كَأَنَّهَا خُيُوطَةُ مَارِيٍّ تُغَارُ وَ تُفْتَلُ وَ مَارِيٌّ كَانَ رَجُلًا حَبَّالًا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ الْخُيُوطَ . He (the narrator) said, ‘Our companions differed, so I composed a poem of Taabat Al-Adwany – It is like the threads of Marie twisted and attached’.
And Marie was a man who was a weaver, and used to work with the threads’. [8] عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا يُصَلَّى عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ بِحِذَاءٍ وَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالْخُفِّ .
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Sayf Bin Ameyra, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah -asws having said: ‘One cannot pray Salaat upon the deceased with the shoes on, but there is nothing wrong with the socks’.
