20-9 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ibrahim ibn Hashim, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn al-Hassan al-Qurashi, on the authority of Suleiman ibn Hafs al-Basry, on the authority of Abdullah ibn al-Hussein ibn Zayd ibn Ali ibn al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad (MGB), on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “O my nation! The Honorable the Exalted God dislikes twenty-four characteristics in you and admonishes you against them. He detests that you play when you pray; to mention it when you give charity; to laugh in the graveyards; to spy on houses; and to look at women’s genitals, for this may cause blindness . He detests that you talk when you make love, and said that it could lead to dumbness in the child. He detests that you dose off before the last night prayer. He detests that you talk after the last night prayer. He detests that you bathe in the open without a towel. He detests that you engage in sexual intercourse in the open. He detests that you go into the river without any clothes. He said that there are constructors and angels who reside in the rivers. He detests that you go into the bath without any clothes. He detests that you talk between the general and the specific calls to the morning prayer until after the prayers end. He detests that you sail at sea when it is stormy. He detests that you sleep on unfenced roofs and said, ‘No one is to be held responsible for whoever sleeps on unfenced roofs.’ He detests a man to sleep alone in the house. He detests a man to approach his wife while she is having her menstruation, since that would lead to a child who has leprosy or vitiligo and there would be no one but himself to blame. He detests a man who has had a wet dream to have intercourse with his wife before washing himself, since then a child might be born who is insane and then there will be no one but himself to blame. He detests a man to talk to a man infected with leprosy, unless there is a distance of an arms length between him and the infected man. He said, ‘Escape from a person infected with leprosy as you would escape from a lion.’ He detests that you urinate in a river or flowing creek. He detests building a toilet under fruit trees which bear fruits. He detests a man to put his shoes on while he is standing up. He detests a man to enter a dark house, unless he has a light to see his way. He detests blowing at the place of the prayer.”
