(962 A.D.) Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Bayhaqi in Neishaboor narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sowli quoted on the authority of Oun ibn Muhammad, on the authority of Abi Abbad, “Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) sat on straw mats in the summer, and sackcloth in the winter. He (a.s.) usually wore rough clothes except for when he (a.s.) wanted to visit the people. Then he (a.s.) wore better clothes.”
