31. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Isma‘il ibn Mehran from Muhammad ibn Abu Hamzah from Ali ibn Yaqtin who has said the following: “I once asked Abu al-Hassan (a.s.) ‘Can I read Quran in a bathhouse and have intercourse (in the bathhouse)?’ He (the Imam (a.s.)) replied, ‘It is not harmful.

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع أَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَنْهَى عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي الْحَمَّامِ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا نَهَى أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ عُرْيَانٌ فَأَمَّا إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ فَلَا بَأْسَ.

32. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Rib‘iy ibn ‘ Abd Allah from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), if ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) prohibited reading al-Quran in a bathhouse. He (the Imam) said, ’No, however, he prohibited reading while n

لَا بَأْسَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي الْحَمَّامِ إِذَا كَانَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا يُرِيدُ يَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ صَوْتُهُ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not harmful if one reads al-Quran in a bathhouse if he does it for the sake of Allah, but not to find out how his voice is.’”

مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنَ الْحَمَّامِ خَزَفَةً فَحَكَّ بِهَا جَسَدَهُ فَأَصَابَهُ الْبَرَصُ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ وَ مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ الَّذِي قَدِ اغْتُسِلَ فِيهِ فَأَصَابَهُ الْجُذَامُ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ فِيهِ شِفَاءً مِنَ الْعَيْنِ فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ الْجُنُبُ مِنَ الْحَرَا

“Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), has said, ‘If one picks up a piece of pottery from a bathhouse and rubs himself with it, then becomes ill with leprosy he must not blame anyone except himself. One who washes with the used water of a bathhouse and becomes ill with leprosy, he also must not blame anyone else except himse

أَمَرَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع فَعَمِلْتُ لَهُ دُهْناً فِيهِ مِسْكٌ وَ عَنْبَرٌ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَكْتُبَ فِي قِرْطَاسٍ- آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ أُمَّ الْكِتَابِ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ قَوَارِعَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ‌[2] وَ أَجْعَلَهُ بَيْنَ الْغِلَافِ وَ الْقَارُورَةِ فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِهِ فَتَغَلَّفَ بِهِ وَ أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ.

“Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), once commanded me to prepare for him oil mixed with musk and ambergris and write on paper verse 2:255, ’Umm al-Kitab, al-Ma‘udhatayn and al-Qawari’ (verse that crush Satan) from al-Quran; then place it in a cover in a bottle. I did as I was told to do. I then brought it to him (the Imam

“A man once complained before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about people of the land mocking at his family and children. He (the Imam) asked, ‘How much is the height of your house?’ He replied, ‘It is ten yards.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Make it eight yards, then write verse 2:255 between the eigth and tenth yards as you go aroun

“About the case of the roof of a house which is eight yards high, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that it is a residence. If it is higher than eight yards, then on the level of eight yard height you must write verse 2:255.’”

إِذَا كَانَ الْبَيْتُ فَوْقَ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَذْرُعٍ فَاكْتُبْ فِي أَعْلَاهُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If the height of the house is more than eight yards (Zira’ arm-length) then write verse 2:255 above that level.’”

‘If one rides his stumper and mentions the name of Allah, an angel sits behind him to protect him until he disembarks; but if one rides his stumper without mentioning the name of Allah, a Satan sits behind him and says to him to sing. If he says, ‘I do not know singing.’ He says, ‘Wish that you could sing.’ He then con

Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from his father, from Salma Bin Kuheyl who said, ‘They came to Amir Al-Momineen asws with a man who had killed a man in error.

“Once al-Hakam ibn ‘Utaybah and Salmah ibn Kuhayl visited abu Ja‘far, Alayhi al-Salam, and asked about the testimony of one witness and a oath.

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from certain persons of our people from ‘Abd Allah ibn Kathir from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan in a marfu‘ manner who has narrated the following: “He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali (a.s.), has said, ‘The forgotten exception in taking an oath must be made even if one remembers after forty mornings.’ He (the Imam) then read this verse, . . speak of your Lord if you forget.’”
