وَ قَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- مَا يُجْزِي الرَّجُلَ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ صَلَّى الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ص فِي ثَوْبٍ قَدْ قَلَصَ عَنْ نِصْفِ سَاقِهِ وَ قَارَبَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَدْرُ جَنَاحَيِ الْخُطَّافِ وَ كَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ سَقَطَ عَنْ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ يَنَالُهُ عُنُقُهُ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ دَأْبَهُ وَ دَأْبَهُ مُشْتَغِلًا بِهِ حَتَّى انْصَرَفَ.

Hadith.788 - Abu Basir asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about what is sufficient clothing for a man to pray in. Imam (as) said: "Hussain ibn Ali (as) prayed in a garment that reached up to half his shin and was close to his knees, with only as much covering on his shoulders as the wings of a swallow. When he would bow (in ruku'), it would slip off his shoulders, and whenever he prostrated (Sujood), it would touch his neck, so he would pull it back over his shoulders with his hand, and this remained his practice until he completed the prayer”.

[2]حاصل معنى الحديث أن رداء الحسين عليه السلام كان رقيقا كالتكة و كان طوله قد تجاوز الركبة و ارتفع عن نصف الساق، فإذا ركع انتقل من منكبيه الى عنقه قليلا، و إذا سجد انتقل الى أعالي عنقه فكان يردّه على منكبيه بيده. و الظاهر أن ضمير دأبه الأول يرجع الى الرداء و الثاني إليه عليه السلام.( مراد)ص 257
