Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Salah (prayer) with black dirhams which have portraits on them. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not an offense if they are hidden.’” وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/317))
