Hadith 135

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al-Hassan Al Sayqal who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘Would you like me-asws to show you the shirt of Ali-asws in which he-asws was struck, or I-asws show you-asws his-asws blood? ’ I said, ‘Yes’. So he-asws called for it, and it was in a basket. He-asws extracted it and displayed it. It was a cotton-like shirt resembling Al-Sunbulany (made in), and there was in the spot of the pocket up to the ground a stain of blood whiter than the milk, resembling a stroke of the sword. He-asws said: ‘This is the shirt of Ali-asws in which he-asws was struck, and these are the traces of his-asws blood’. I measured its body by the open palm (Shibr), so it was three open-palm’s width, and I measured its bottom by the open palm (Shibr), so it was twelve open-palm’s length’’. [96]
