[26] أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ...

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘A man asked Abu Abd Allah -asws and I was in his -asws presence, about Al-Khazz (Otter-skin?) dress. So he -asws said: ‘There is no problem with it’. So the man said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! These are dogs coming out from the water’. So Abu Abd Allah -asws said: ‘When it comes out from the water, does it live outside the water?’ So the man said, ‘No’.

He -asws said, ‘So there is no problem’. [27] عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ جُلُودِ الْخَزِّ فَقَالَ هُوَ ذَا نَلْبَسُ الْخَزَّ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ ذَاكَ الْوَبَرُ فَقَالَ إِذَا حَلَّ وَبَرُهُ حَلَّ جِلْدُهُ . From him, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Sa’ad who said, ‘I asked Al-Reza -asws about the skin of Al-Khazz (Otter?), so he -asws said: ‘It is that Al-Khazz which we -asws wear’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws !

From him, from Ja’far Bin Isa who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza -asws asking him -asws about the animals from which Al-Khazz is made, from their fur, is it a predator?’ So he -asws wrote: ‘Al-Husayn -asws Bin Ali -asws wore Al-Khazz , and from after him -asws , my -asws grandfather -asws ’.
