Hadith 1896
۞
7. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Burayd from Malik ibn ’A‘yan who has said the following
“I once visited abu Ja‘far (a.s.). A sheet of sharp red color was on him. I smiled when I entered. He (the Imam) said, ‘It seems I know why you are laughing. You laugh because of this cloth on me. It is because the Thaqafiy woman forced me to wear it and I love her.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘We do not perform Salat (prayer) in a cloth of sharp color and you also must not perform Salat (prayer) with such clothes.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘Afterward I went to see him when he had divorced her and he (the Imam) said, ‘I divorced her because I heard her denounce Ali (a.s.), so I could not keep her with such attitude.”’
أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَلَيْهِ مِلْحَفَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ جَدِيدَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ الْحُمْرَةِ فَتَبَسَّمْتُ حِينَ دَخَلْتُ فَقَالَ كَأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ لِمَ ضَحِكْتَ ضَحِكْتَ مِنْ هَذَا الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي هُوَ عَلَيَّ إِنَّ الثَّقَفِيَّةَ أَكْرَهَتْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنَا أُحِبُّهَا فَأَكْرَهَتْنِي عَلَى لُبْسِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نُصَلِّي فِي هَذَا وَ لَا تُصَلُّوا فِي الْمُشْبَعِ الْمُضَرَّجِقَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ طَلَّقَهَا فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُهَا تَبَرَّأُ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) فَلَمْ يَسَعْنِي أَنْ أُمْسِكَهَا وَ هِيَ تَبَرَّأُ مِنْهُ .
