Hadith 29

(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ali Bin Yaqteen who said, ‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st saying: ‘Do not descend into a grave while there is a turban upon you, nor the cap nor the shoes, nor the pallium, and loosen your loin cloth (trouser), for that is a Sunnah from Rasool-Allah-saww’. I said, ‘(What about) the socks? ’
He-asws said: ‘I-asws don’t see any problem with it’. I said, ‘Why are the shoes disliked? ’
He-asws said: ‘Fearing that he might stumble with his leg, and demolish (fall down)’’. [47]
Explanation – It is reported by Al-Kulayni from AbuBakr Al-Hazrami, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Do not descend into the grave while upon you is the turban, nor the cap, nor a robe, nor shoes, and loosen your loin cloth (trouser)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And the socks? ’
He-asws said: ‘There is no problem with the socks in the time of necessity and the Taqiyyah (dissimulation)’’.
