1. [1/186] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Masud from Abdallah b. Muhammad from al-Hasan b. Ali al-Washsha from Ibn Sinan who said: I heard Aba Abdillah عليه السلام saying: while I was making the Tawaf someone started pulling my garment. I turned to look at him and discovered that he was `Abbad al-Basri. He [`Abbad] said: O Ja`far bin Muhammad – you wear this type of cloth while you are who you are in terms of your close relation with Ali صلوات الله عليه [i.e. are his descendant]? He عليه السلام said: I said to him – woe be upon you, this is a cloth from Kuhistan that I have bought by a Dinar and a few [Dirhams], Ali عليه السلام was in an age wherein what he wore was befitting for it, but if I were to wear a similar type of attire in this age the people would say – this one is a pretender of piety [show off] like `Abbad!
