وَقَالَ زُرَارَةُ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «خَرَجَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فَرَآهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ قَدْ سَدَلُوا أَرْدِيَتَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «مَا لَكُمْ قَدْ سَدَلْتُمْ ثِيَابَكُمْ كَأَنَّكُمْ يَهُودُ قَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنْ فُهْرِهِمْ » يَعْنِي بِيعَتَهُمْ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ سَدْلَ ثِيَابِكُمْ.
Zurarah said that Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) came out to a group of people and saw them praying in the mosque with their cloaks draped (over their shoulders), and Imam (a.s) said to them: 'What is the matter with you that you drape your garments as if you are Jews coming out of their synagogues?' Meaning, beware of draping your garments (while praying)."
