Hadith record

2. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Ishaq al-‘Alaviy from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn Sulayman al- Daylamiy from ‘ Aytham ibn Aslam al-Najashiy from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about Salah (prayer) with furs. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn was sensitive to cold and fur from Hijaz was not sufficient for him because tanning is by the pod of a species of a tree. He would send for fur from Iraq and he (the Imam) used it, but during Salah (prayer) removed it as well as the shirt underneath the fur. When asked about it he (the Imam) answered, ’People of Iraq consider using of skins of dead animals as lawful. They think tanning makes them clean.’”
