Al-Kāfi - The Book of Dresses, Beautification and Kindness Chapter: Wearing al-Khazz (fur or skin of an animal that lives in water) أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعِيصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِ٠ِ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلا٠) وَ عَلَيَّ قَبَاءُ خَزٍّ وَ بِطَانَتُهُ خَزٌّ وَ طَيْلَسَانُ خَزٍّ ٠ُرْتَفِعٌ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَلَيَّ ثَوْباً أَكْرَهُ لُبْسَهُ فَقَالَ وَ ٠َا هُوَ قُلْتُ طَيْلَسَانِي هَذَا قَالَ وَ ٠َا بَالُ الطَّيْلَسَانِ قُلْتُ هُوَ خَزٌّ قَالَ وَ ٠َا بَالُ الْخَزِّ قُلْتُ سَدَاهُ إِبْرِيسَ٠َا بَالُ الْإِبْرِيسَ٠ِ قَالَ لَا يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ سَدَى الثَّوْبِ إِبْرِيسَ٠اً وَ لَا زِرُّهُ وَ لَا عَلَ٠ِنَ الْإِبْرِيسَ٠ِ لِلرِّجَالِ وَ لَا يُكْرَهُ لِلنِّسَاءِ.

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.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/330))
