Le Vêtement

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘One who chooses (makes use of) clothes, he must clean it.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Celui qui prend un vêtement, qu'il le nettoie."

4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Jamuraniy from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn abu Hamzah from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, if a believing person can have ten shirts. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’ I then asked, ‘Can he have twenty.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’ I asked, ‘Can he have thirty?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so. This is not profligacy and lavishness. Profligacy is when you make your dress to maintain your dignity the cloth of your disgraceful condition.’”

Il a répondu: "Oui. J'ai dit: "Vingt?" Il a répondu: "Oui." J'ai dit: "Trente?" Il a répondu: "Oui. Ce n'est pas de l'extravagance. L'extravagance est plutôt de faire de la chemise de ta protection une chemise de ta négligence."

5. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ who has said the following: “I once heard al-Rida’, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, would buy two dresses for summer, each valued at five hundred dirhams.’”

Ali ibn al-Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui) portait deux vêtements en été, achetés pour cinq cents dirhams.

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Yahya ibn al-‘Ala’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin sent ‘Abd Allah ibn al-‘Abbas to ibn al-Kawwa’ and his people. He was wearing a shirt of fine fabric and a gown. They looked at him and said, ‘O ibn al- ‘Abbas, you are the better among us in our belief and you wear this kind of clothes.’ He replied, ‘This is the first thing about which I disagree with you. “Who has made it unlawful to maintain beauty and to eat the pure foods which Allah has created for His servants?” (7:32) and He also has said, “dress well when attending the mosques.” (7:31)’”

Le Commandeur des Croyants (que la paix soit sur lui) a envoyé Abdullah ibn Abbas chez Ibn al-Kawwa' et ses compagnons, vêtu d'une chemise fine et d'une parure. Quand ils l'ont vu, ils ont dit : "Ô Ibn Abbas, tu es le meilleur d'entre nous et tu portes ces vêtements." Il a répondu : "C'est la première chose pour laquelle je vous dispute. Dites : Qui a interdit les parures qu'Allah a produites pour Ses serviteurs, ainsi que les bonnes choses de la subsistance ? Et Il a dit : Prenez votre parure à chaque lieu de prière."

7. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Safwan from Yusuf ibn Ibrahim who has said the following: “I once visited abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and I was wearing a Jubbah of silk and al-Taylisan (pallium) of silk. He (the Imam) looked at me and I asked saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I am wearing a Taylisan of silk and a Jubbah of silk, what do you say about them?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Silk is not unlawful.’ I then said, ‘Its warp is abrisam (silk from silk worm as opposed to that from certain plant fibers or synthetic). He (the Imam) said, ‘Abrisam is not unlawful because when al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, was murdered, he was wearing abrisam and jubbah of silk.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Abd Allah ibn al-‘ Abbas was sent to al-Khawarij by ’Amir al-Mu’minin and he stood before them wearing the best of his dresses with the best perfumes and with the best stumper. They said, ‘O ibn al- ‘Abbas you are the best of people to us but you have come wearing the dress of the tyrants and riding the stumper of the tyrants.’ He read to them this verse, ‘Say, who has made unlawful the beauties that Allah has brought out for His servants and the best sustenance.’ So dress up and beautify; Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty but it must be of the lawful ones.’”

"Dis : "Qui a interdit la parure d'Allah, qu'Il a produite pour Ses serviteurs, ainsi que les bonnes nourritures ?" Dis : "Elles sont destinées à ceux qui ont la foi, dans la vie présente, mais exclusivement à eux le jour de la Résurrection." Ainsi exposons-Nous les versets pour des gens qui savent." (Sourate 7, verset 32)

8. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Bandar Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn Ali in a marfu‘ manner has said the following: “Once, Sufyan al-Thawriy passed by Masjid al-Haram (the sacred area) and he saw abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, dressed in fine expensive clothes. He decided to meet him (the Imam) and scold him. He went close and said, ‘O child of the Messenger of Allah, the Messenger of Allah did not dress up with this kind of dress, Ali did not dress with this kind of dress nor any of your ancestors did.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, lived at a time when it was a financially serious and stringent condition. He (the Messenger of Allah) lived according to such conditions but the world thereafter has become financially relaxed. The most deserving in financial opportunities are the virtuous people.’ He (the Imam) then read this verse, ‘Say, who has made unlawful the beautiful things that Allah has brought out for His servants and the fine kinds of means of sustenance.’ (7:31) We are the most deserving of what Allah has granted. However, O Thawriy, what you see I have dressed up with I have done so for people. He (the Imam) pulled his hand to himself and raised the outer layer of his dress. Underneath on his body was a layer of rough textured garment. He (the Imam) said, ‘I wear this for my own soul and what you see (the outer layer) is for people.’ He (the Imam) then raised the outer layer of the garment of Sufyan, which was of rough texture but the layer underneath on his body was of a fine quality. He (the Imam) said, ‘You have dressed up for people with the outer layer and for yourself to enjoy with the fine quality layer underneath.’”

9. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from ai-Washsha’ from ‘Abd Aifah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, ‘When I was in tawaf (walking around al- Ka‘bah) someone pulled my dress and he was ‘Abbad ibn Kathir al-Basriy saying, “O Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, you wear this kind of dress and your position to Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, is so close.’” I said, ‘It is a material made in Furqubiy (a place in Egypt) which I have bought for a dinar. Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, lived in a time when his kind of dress was suitable for him and if I wear that kind of dress now people will say, “He is another show off like ‘Abbad.’””

Alors que j'étais en train de faire le tawaf, j'ai senti quelqu'un tirer sur mon vêtement. C'était 'Abbad ibn Kathir al-Basri. Il a dit : Ô Ja'far ibn Muhammad, tu portes ce genre de vêtements alors que tu te trouves ici, à l'endroit où Ali (sur lui la paix) se tenait. J'ai répondu : C'est un vêtement à col que j'ai acheté pour un dinar. Ali (sur lui la paix) était dans une époque où il ne portait que ce qui était droit pour lui. Si je portais ce genre de vêtement à notre époque, les gens diraient que c'est de la vanité, comme Abbad.

10. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, if a man can have ten shirts, changing them every day. He (the Imam) said, ’It is not unlawful.’”

Il n'y a pas de mal.

11. Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, if I can have three shirts. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’ I asked again until I reached ten shirts and he (the Imam) said, ‘Does exchanging give them more durability?’ I said, ‘It does, were I to wear one of them for a longer time, it would become less durable.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’”

Par le biais de cette chaîne de transmission, d'Isḥāq ibn ʿAmmār qui a dit : J'ai dit à Abī ʿAbdillāh (sur lui la paix) : "Est-il permis pour moi d'avoir trois chemises ?" Il a dit : "Il n'y a pas de mal." J'ai continué ainsi jusqu'à atteindre l'âge de dix ans. Il a alors dit : "Ne se passe-t-il pas qu'on en remplace une par une autre ?" J'ai dit : "Si, même si je n'en porte qu'une seule, cela serait plus économique." Il a dit : "Il n'y a pas de mal."

12. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Nuh ibn Shu’ayb from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who is affluent and has a great deal of clothes and very fine ones, palliums, many shirts which are used to extend the life of each shirt and beautify himself; if it is profligacy and lavishness. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not lavishness because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “The affluent can spend according to his affluent condition.” (65:7)’”

J'ai demandé à Abu 'Abdillah (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet d'un homme qui porte des vêtements luxueux, des manteaux et des tuniques en grande quantité, en prenant soin de les protéger les uns des autres pour se parer avec, est-ce considéré comme de l'excès ? Il a répondu : Non, car Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux, dit : "Qu'il dépense, de sa propre aisance, celui qui a de l'aisance." (Coran, 65:7)

13. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Astdariy from ibn al-Qaddah who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, was leaning against me or he said, ‘against my father’ when ‘Abbad ibn Kathir al-Basriy met him (the Imam) and he (the Imam) had a dress of fabrics made in Marw (name of place) of fine quality. He (‘Abbad) said, ‘O abu ‘Abd Allah, you are of the family of the Holy Prophet, and your father was (so pious). What is this dress, made in Marw, on you? I wish you dressed in a lower quality dress.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said to him, ‘Woe on you, O ‘Abbad! Who has made unlawful the beautiful things that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has brought out for His servants and the very fine kinds of means of sustenance. When Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, grants bounties on His servant He loves to see it on him and it is not harmful. Woe on you, O ‘Abbad, I am a piece of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, do not trouble me.’ ‘Abbad wore two pieces of clothes made in Qitr (name of a place).”’

14. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Qasim ibn Yahya from his grandfather al-Hassan ibn Rashid from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ‘Clean clothes remove sadness and it is of cleanliness for Salat (prayer).”’

L'Imam des croyants (sur lui la paix) a dit: "Celui qui porte des vêtements propres, éloigne la tristesse et la peine, et il est pur pour la prière."

15. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman who has said the following: “Once I was with abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, when a man said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, you have mentioned that Ali ibn abu Talib wore very rough-textured clothes. He wore a shirt valued at four dirham and similar items and we see you wear fine clothes.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said to him, ‘Ali ibn abu Talib wore that kind of clothes in a time when it was not disliked. Were he to wear such clothes today he would have been defamed. The best dress in every period of time is what the people of that time use, however, when our al-Qa’im will rise, he will wear the kind of dress Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, wore and follow his way of life.’”

Le meilleur vêtement pour chaque époque est celui porté par ses habitants, sauf que notre Qa'im (l'Imam Mahdi) quand il se lèvera, portera les vêtements d'Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) et suivra sa voie.

16. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from the one who narrated to him who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘It is not unlawful if one has twenty shirts. 5 ”

a dit : "Il n'y a pas de mal à ce qu'un homme possède vingt chemises."
