10ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ السَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي فَيُدْخِلُ يَدَيْهِ تَحْتَ ثَوْبِهِ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ آخَرُ إِزَارٌ أَوْ سَرَاوِيلُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَلاَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَإِنْ أَدْخَلَ يَداً وَاحِدَةً وَلَمْ يُدْخِلِ الأخْرَى فَلاَ بَأْسَ.

Published English translation

10. It is a narration from him (narrator of previous Hadith) by Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah ‘Ammar al-Sabatiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who when performing Salah (prayer) enters his hands under his clothes. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not an offense if he has other clothes on him, like a loincloth or pant (pajama); otherwise, it is not permissible, however, entering one hand is not harmful.’”
