A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn Ali from Mawla’ of Banu Hashim from Muhammad ibn Ja‘far ibn Muhammad who has said the following: “One night Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, came out wearing a robe and gown of fur of al- Khazz (garments made of skin or fur of an animal that lives in water), and his beard covered with al- Ghaliyah.

They said, ‘At this time and in this make-up!’ He said, ‘I like to propose to al-Hur al-Tn before Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, in this night.’” Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Ali ibn Asbat from Mawla of banu Hashim from Muhammad ibn Ja‘far a similar Hadith. ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/423))
