Arabic text

ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَانُوا إِذَا مَرُّوا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ طَأْطَأَ أَحَدُهُمْ ظَهْرَهُ وَ رَأْسَهُ هَكَذَا وَ غَطَّى رَأْسَهُ بِثَوْبِهِ لَا يَرَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَلا إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا مِنْهُ أَلا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ ما يُسِرُّونَ وَ ما يُعْلِنُونَ.

Translation

115. Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Ibn Saleh, from Sudayr, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘Jabir Ibn Abdullah (ra) informed me (asws): that when the Polytheists used to pass by the Rasulallah (saww), they would incline their heads and cover their heads with their clothes so that the Rasulallah (saww) would not see (recognise) them. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed: “Now surely they fold up their breasts that they may conceal (their enmity) from Him; now surely, when they use their garments as a covering, He knows what they conceal and what they make public." [Quran 11:5]
