وَعَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : قُلْنَا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ : حَدِّثْنَا بِمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَرَأَيْتَ مِنْهُ ، وَلَا تُحَدِّثْنَا عَنْ غَيْرِكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ ثِقَةً . قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " مَا بَيْنَ السُّرَّةِ إِلَى الرُّكْبَةِ عَوْرَةٌ "
Imam Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin Ali (that is, Imam al-Baqir (may Allah have mercy on him)) narrated: We said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him): Narrate to us a hadith that you heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself, or something you saw from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and do not narrate to us any hadith on the authority of anyone other than yourself, even if that other person is trustworthy. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "What lies between the navel and the knee is awrah (that which must be covered)."
