28-86 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - and Ali ibn Abdullah al-Warraq narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Hussein al-Khayyat al-Neishaboori, on the authority of Ibrahim Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Musa ibn Ja’far, on the authority of Yasir - the servant, on the authority of Abil Hassan Al-Askari (s), on the authority of his father (s), on the authority of Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s) that Al-Ridha (s) used to put his clothes on from the right side. Whenever the Imam (s) wanted to put on a new article of clothing, he (s) asked for a bowl of water and recited the Quranic Chapter ‘Al-Qadr ten times, the Chapter ‘Al-Ikhlas ten times and the Chapter ‘Al-Kafirun ten times over it, poured the water on the piece of clothing and said, ‘Whoever does so before putting on a new item of clothing will have no difficulties in his life as long as the threads of it remain.’The author of this book (Sheikh Sadooq) said, “Yasir - the servant lived at the time of Al-Ridha (s). It is strange for him to have had narrated the above tradition on the authority of Abil Hassan Al-Askari (s).
