When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ put on a new garment he mentioned it by name, turban or shirt, and would then say: O Allah, praise be to Thee! as Thou hast clothed me with it, I ask Thee for its good and the good of that for which it was made, and I seek refuge in Thee from its evil and the evil of that for which it was made. Abu Nadrah said: When any of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ put on a new garment, he was told: May you wear it out and may Allah give you another in its place.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اسْتَجَدَّ ثَوْبًا سَمَّاهُ بِاسْمِهِ إِمَّا قَمِيصًا أَوْ عِمَامَةً ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيهِ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهِ وَخَيْرِ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ قَالَ أَبُو نَضْرَةَ فَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا لَبِسَ أَحَدُهُمْ ثَوْبًا جَدِيدًا قِيلَ لَهُ تُبْلِي وَيُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى  

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Al-Jariri through a different chain of narrators in a similar way.  

عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ  

'Abd al-Wahhab al-Thaqafi did not mention the name of Abu Sa'id. Hammad b. Salamah said: From al-Jariri, from Abu al-'Ala', from the Prophet ﷺ. Abu Dawud said: The hearing of this tradition by Hammad b. Salamah and Thaqafi is of the same nature.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone eats food and then says: "Praise be to Allah Who has fed me with this food and provided me with it through no might and power on my part," he will be forgiven his former and later sins. If anyone puts on a garment and says: "Praise be to Allah Who has clothed me with this and provided me with it through no might and power on my part," he will be forgiven his former and later sins.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ طَعَامًا ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا الطَّعَامَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ وَمَنْ لَبِسَ ثَوْبًا فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ  

Once the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought some garments among which was a small cloak with a border and black stripes. He said: Whom do you think to be more deserving for it ? The people kept silence. He said: Bring Umm Khalid. The she was carried to him and he put it on her, saying: Wear it out and make it ragged twice. Then he went on looking at red or yellow marks on it, and said: This is sanah, sanah, Umm Khalid. It means "beautiful" in the language of the Abyssinians.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِكِسْوَةٍ فِيهَا خَمِيصَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ فَقَالَ مَنْ تَرَوْنَ أَحَقَّ بِهَذِهِ فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِأُمِّ خَالِدٍ فَأُتِيَ بِهَا فَأَلْبَسَهَا إِيَّاهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبْلِي وَأَخْلِقِي مَرَّتَيْنِ وَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَلَمٍ فِي الْخَمِيصَةِ أَحْمَرَ أَوْ أَصْفَرَ وَيَقُولُ سَنَاهْ سَنَاهْ يَا أُمَّ خَالِدٍ وَسَنَاهْ فِي كَلاَمِ الْحَبَشَةِ الْحَسَنُ  

The clothing which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked best was shirt.  

كَانَ أَحَبَّ الثِّيَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْقَمِيصُ  

No clothing was dearer to be Messenger of Allah ﷺ than shirt.  

لَمْ يَكُنْ ثَوْبٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَمِيصٍ  

The sleeve of the shirt of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the wrist.  

كَانَتْ يَدُ كُمِّ قَمِيصِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الرُّصْغِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ distributed outer garments with full-length sleeves but did not give Makhramah anything. Makhramah said: Go with us to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I went with him and he said: Enter and call him for me. I then called him. He came out to him and he had an outer garment with full-length sleeves over him from those garments. He said: I kept it for you. He looked at it, meaning Makhramah according to the addition of Ibn Mawhab. The agreed version then says: He said: Makhramah was pleased. Ibn Qutaibah said: From Ibn Abi Mulaikah, but he did not name it.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقْبِيَةً وَلَمْ يُعْطِ مَخْرَمَةَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ مَخْرَمَةُ يَا بُنَىَّ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ قَالَ ادْخُلْ فَادْعُهُ لِي قَالَ فَدَعَوْتُهُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِ قِبَاءٌ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ خَبَأْتُ هَذَا لَكَ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ زَادَ ابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ مَخْرَمَةُ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا قَالَ رَضِيَ مَخْرَمَةُ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ as saying: If anyone wears a garment for gaining fame, Allah will clothe him in a similar garment on the Day of Resurrection.  

مَنْ لَبِسَ ثَوْبَ شُهْرَةٍ أَلْبَسَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثَوْبًا مِثْلَهُ زَادَ عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ ثُمَّ تُلَهَّبُ فِيهِ النَّارُ  

Garment of disgrace.  

ثَوْبَ مَذَلَّةٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: He who copies any people is one of them.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَشَبَّهَ بِقَوْمٍ فَهُوَ مِنْهُمْ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one morning wearing a variegated garment of black goat hair. Narrated Utbah ibn AbdusSulami: I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to clothe me. He clothed me with two coarse clothes of linen.  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ مِرْطٌ مُرَحَّلٌ مِنْ شَعْرٍ أَسْوَدَ وَقَالَ حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَقِيلِ بْنِ مُدْرِكٍ عَنْ لُقْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ اسْتَكْسَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَسَانِي خَيْشَتَيْنِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَأَنَا أَكْسَى أَصْحَابِي  

My father said to me: My son, if you had seen us while we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the rain had fallen on us, you would have thought that our smell was the smell of the sheep.  

لِي أَبِي يَا بُنَىَّ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ وَقَدْ أَصَابَتْنَا السَّمَاءُ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ رِيحَنَا رِيحُ الضَّأْنِ  

The King Dhu Yazan presented to the apostle of Allah ﷺ a suit of clothes which he had purchased for thirty-three camels or thirty-three she-camels. He accepted it.  

أَنَّ مَلِكَ ذِي يَزَنَ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حُلَّةً أَخَذَهَا بِثَلاَثَةٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ بَعِيرًا أَوْ ثَلاَثٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ نَاقَةً فَقَبِلَهَا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ purchased a suit of clothes for twenty she-camels and some more and he presented it to Dhu Yazan.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اشْتَرَى حُلَّةً بِبِضْعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَلُوصًا فَأَهْدَاهَا إِلَى ذِي يَزَنَ  

I entered upon 'Aishah, and she brought a coarse lower garment that was manufactured in the Yemen and a patched garment called mulabbadah. She swore by Allah that the spirit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was taken in these two clothes.  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَأَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيْنَا إِزَارًا غَلِيظًا مِمَّا يُصْنَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ وَكِسَاءً مِنَ الَّتِي يُسَمُّونَهَا الْمُلَبَّدَةَ فَأَقْسَمَتْ بِاللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُبِضَ فِي هَذَيْنِ الثَّوْبَيْنِ  

When the Haruriyyah made a revolt, I came to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: Go to these people. I then put on the best suit of the Yemen. AbuZumayl (a transmitter) said: Ibn Abbas was handsome and of imposing countenance. Ibn Abbas said: I then came to them and they said: Welcome to you, Ibn Abbas! what is this suit of clothes? I said: Why are you objecting to me? I saw over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the best suit of clothes. Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu Zumail is Sammak b. al-Walid al-Hanafi.  

لَمَّا خَرَجَتِ الْحَرُورِيَّةُ أَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ فَقَالَ ائْتِ هَؤُلاَءِ الْقَوْمَ فَلَبِسْتُ أَحْسَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ حُلَلِ الْيَمَنِ قَالَ أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَجُلاً جَمِيلاً جَهِيرًا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَرْحَبًا بِكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مَا هَذِهِ الْحُلَّةُ قَالَ مَا تَعِيبُونَ عَلَىَّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الْحُلَلِ  

I saw a man riding on a white mule and he had a black turban of silk and wool. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ put it on me. This is the version of Uthman, and there is the word akhbara in his tradition.  

رَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً بِبُخَارَى عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ عِمَامَةُ خَزٍّ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَ كَسَانِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا لَفْظُ عُثْمَانَ وَالإِخْبَارُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ  

Abu Amir or Abu Malik told me--I swear by Allah another oath that he did not believe me that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There will be among my community people who will make lawful (the use of) khazz and silk. Some of them will be transformed into apes and swine. Abu Dawud said: Twenty Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or more put on khazz. Anas and al-Bara' b. 'Azib were among them.  

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَامِرٍ أَوْ أَبُو مَالِكٍ وَاللَّهِ يَمِينٌ أُخْرَى مَا كَذَبَنِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَيَكُونَنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَقْوَامٌ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ الْخَزَّ وَالْحَرِيرَ وَذَكَرَ كَلاَمًا قَالَ يُمْسَخُ مِنْهُمْ آخَرُونَ قِرَدَةً وَخَنَازِيرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ  

'Umar b. al-Khattab saw that a striped robe containing silk was being sold at the the gate of the mosque. He said: Messenger of Allah, would that you purchased it and wore it on Friday and when a delegation came to you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Only he who has no portion in the next world wears this (silk). Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in possession of some robes made of silk and gave one of them to 'Umar b. al-Khattab. 'Umar said: Messenger of Allah, you are clothing me with it, but you said about the robe of 'Utarid what you said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I did not give it to you so that you may wear it. So 'Umar al-Khattab gave it to his brother who was a polytheist in Mecca to wear it.  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ هَذِهِ فَلَبِسْتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْهَا حُلَلٌ فَأَعْطَى عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْهَا حُلَّةً فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِي حُلَّةِ عُطَارِدٍ مَا قُلْتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا فَكَسَاهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَخًا لَهُ مُشْرِكًا بِمَكَّةَ  

He said: A robe of silk brocade. He then sent him a Jubbah of brocade and said: You may sell it and fulfill your need.  

وَقَالَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ بِجُبَّةِ دِيبَاجٍ وَقَالَ تَبِيعُهَا وَتُصِيبُ بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ  

'Umar wrote to 'Utbah b. Farqad that the Prophet ﷺ forbade (wearing) silk except so-and-so, and so-and-so, to the extent of two, three, or four fingers.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا أُصْبُعَيْنِ وَثَلاَثَةً وَأَرْبَعَةً  

A robe containing silk was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He then sent it to me. I wore it and came to him. I saw him looking angry in his face. He then said: I did not send it to you to wear. He ordered me and I divided it among my women.  

أُهْدِيَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حُلَّةٌ سِيَرَاءُ فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا إِلَىَّ فَلَبِسْتُهَا فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَرَأَيْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أُرْسِلْ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَلْبَسَهَا وَأَمَرَنِي فَأَطَرْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to wear a Qassi garment, a garment dyed with safflower, gold rings, and reading the Qur'an while bowing.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْمُعَصْفَرِ وَعَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ  

(He forbade) reading the Qur'an while bowing and prostrating.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِهَذَا قَالَ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ  

I do not say that he had forbidden you.  

عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِهَذَا زَادَ وَلاَ أَقُولُ نَهَاكُمْ  

The king of Rome presented a fur of silk brocade to the Prophet ﷺ and he wore it. The scene that his hands were moving (while wearing the robe) is before my eyes. He then sent it to Ja'far who wore it and came to him. The Prophet ﷺ said: I did not send it to you to wear. He asked: What should I do with it? He replied: Send it to your brother Negus.  

أَنَّ مَلِكَ الرُّومِ أَهْدَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُسْتَقَةً مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ فَلَبِسَهَا فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يَدَيْهِ تَذَبْذَبَانِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ فَلَبِسَهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا قَالَ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ أَرْسِلْ بِهَا إِلَى أَخِيكَ النَّجَاشِيِّ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: I do not ride on purple, or wear a garment dyed with saffron, or wear shirt hemmed with silk. Pointing to the collar of his shirt al-Hasan (al-Basri) said: The perfume used by men should have an odour but no colour, and the perfume used by women should have a colour but no odour. Sa'id said: I think he said: They interpreted his tradition about perfume used by women as applying when she comes out. But when she is with her husband, she may use any perfume she wishes.  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ أَرْكَبُ الأُرْجُوَانَ وَلاَ أَلْبَسُ الْمُعَصْفَرَ وَلاَ أَلْبَسُ الْقَمِيصَ الْمُكَفَّفَ بِالْحَرِيرِ قَالَ وَأَوْمَأَ الْحَسَنُ إِلَى جَيْبِ قَمِيصِهِ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَلاَ وَطِيبُ الرِّجَالِ رِيحٌ لاَ لَوْنَ لَهُ أَلاَ وَطِيبُ النِّسَاءِ لَوْنٌ لاَ رِيحَ لَهُ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ أُرَاهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا حَمَلُوا قَوْلَهُ فِي طِيبِ النِّسَاءِ عَلَى أَنَّهَا إِذَا خَرَجَتْ فَأَمَّا إِذَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا فَلْتَطَّيَّبْ بِمَا شَاءَتْ  

my companion went to the mosque before me. I went there after him and sat beside him. He asked me: Did you hear the preaching of AbuRayhanah? I said: No. He said: I heard him say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade ten things: Sharpening the ends of the teeth, tattooing, plucking hair, men sleeping together without an under garment, women sleeping together without an under-garment, men putting silk at the hem of their garments like the Persians, or putting silk on their shoulders like the Persians, plundering, riding on panther skins, wearing signet rings, except in the case of one in authority. Abu Dawud said: The solitary point in this tradition (not supported by other traditions) is the report about the signet-ring.  

خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي يُكْنَى أَبَا عَامِرٍ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَعَافِرِ لِنُصَلِّيَ بِإِيلْيَاءَ وَكَانَ قَاصَّهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَزْدِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو رَيْحَانَةَ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ قَالَ أَبُو الْحُصَيْنِ فَسَبَقَنِي صَاحِبِي إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ رَدِفْتُهُ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَسَأَلَنِي هَلْ أَدْرَكْتَ قَصَصَ أَبِي رَيْحَانَةَ قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ عَشْرٍ عَنِ الْوَشْرِ وَالْوَشْمِ وَالنَّتْفِ وَعَنْ مُكَامَعَةِ الرَّجُلِ الرَّجُلَ بِغَيْرِ شِعَارٍ وَعَنْ مُكَامَعَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمَرْأَةَ بِغَيْرِ شِعَارٍ وَأَنْ يَجْعَلَ الرَّجُلُ فِي أَسْفَلِ ثِيَابِهِ حَرِيرًا مِثْلَ الأَعَاجِمِ أَوْ يَجْعَلَ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ حَرِيرًا مِثْلَ الأَعَاجِمِ وَعَنِ النُّهْبَى وَرُكُوبِ النُّمُورِ وَلُبُوسِ الْخَاتَمِ إِلاَّ لِذِي سُلْطَانٍ  

It is forbidden to use purple saddle-clothes.  

عَنْ مَيَاثِرِ الأُرْجُوَانِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me to wear a gold ring, or a Qassi garment or the use purple saddle-cloths.  

نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once prayed wearing a garment having marks. He looked at its marks. When he saluted, he said: Take this garment of mine to AbuJahm, for it turned my attention just now in my prayer, and bring a simple garment without marks. Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu Jahm b. Hudhaifah from Banu 'Adi b. Ka'b b. Ghanam  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلاَمٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَعْلاَمِهَا فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ اذْهَبُوا بِخَمِيصَتِي هَذِهِ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ فَإِنَّهَا أَلْهَتْنِي آنِفًا فِي صَلاَتِي وَأْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيَّتِهِ  

A similar tradition has also been transmitted by 'Aishah through a different chain of narrators. But the former is more perfect.  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوَهُ وَالأَوَّلُ أَشْبَعُ  

Abdullah AbuUmar, client of Asma', daughter of AbuBakr, said: I saw Ibn Umar buying a Syrian garment in the market. When he saw that it had red warp, he returned it. I then came to Asma' and mentioned it to her. She said: Bring me, slave-girl, the mantle of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She brought out a mantle of a course ornamented cloth, with its collar, sleeves, front, and back were hemmed with brocade.  

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَبُو عُمَرَ مَوْلَى أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فِي السُّوقِ اشْتَرَى ثَوْبًا شَامِيًّا فَرَأَى فِيهِ خَيْطًا أَحْمَرَ فَرَدَّهُ فَأَتَيْتُ أَسْمَاءَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا جَارِيَةُ نَاوِلِينِي جُبَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْرَجَتْ جُبَّةَ طَيَالِسَةَ مَكْفُوفَةَ الْجَيْبِ وَالْكُمَّيْنِ وَالْفَرْجَيْنِ بِالدِّيبَاجِ  

It is only a garment wholly made of silk which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade, but there is no harm in the ornamented border and the wrap.  

إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الثَّوْبِ الْمُصْمَتِ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ فَأَمَّا الْعَلَمُ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ وَسَدَى الثَّوْبِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave license to 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf and al-Zubair b. al-'Awwam to wear silk shirts during a journey because of an itch which they had.  

رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَلِلزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ فِي قُمُصِ الْحَرِيرِ فِي السَّفَرِ مِنْ حِكَّةٍ كَانَتْ بِهِمَا  

The Prophet of Allah ﷺ took silk and held it in his right hand, and took gold and held it in his left hand and said: both of these are prohibited to the males of my community.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَقُولُ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخَذَ حَرِيرًا فَجَعَلَهُ فِي يَمِينِهِ وَأَخَذَ ذَهَبًا فَجَعَلَهُ فِي شِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ حَرَامٌ عَلَى ذُكُورِ أُمَّتِي  

The word "siyara" means striped with silk.  

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَلَى أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بُرْدًا سِيَرَاءَ قَالَ وَالسِّيَرَاءُ الْمُضَلَّعُ بِالْقَزِّ  

We used to take it away (i.e. silk) from boys, and leave it for girls. Mis'ar said: I asked Amr ibn Dinar about it, but he did not know it.  

مِسْعَرٌ فَسَأَلْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ دِينَارٍ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ  

We asked Anas b. Malik: Which cloth was dearer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? or Which cloth did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ like best to wear ? He replied: The striped cloaks (hibrah).  

قُلْنَا لأَنَسٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَالِكٍ أَىُّ اللِّبَاسِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ أَعْجَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْحِبَرَةُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Wear your white garments, for they are among your best garments, and shroud your dead in them. Among the best types of collyrium you use is antimony (ithmid) for it clears the vision and makes the hair sprout.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْبَسُوا مِنْ ثِيَابِكُمُ الْبَيَاضَ فَإِنَّهَا خَيْرُ ثِيَابِكُمْ وَكَفِّنُوا فِيهَا مَوْتَاكُمْ وَإِنَّ خَيْرَ أَكْحَالِكُمُ الإِثْمِدُ يَجْلُو الْبَصَرَ وَيُنْبِتُ الشَّعْرَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid visit to us, and saw a dishevelled man whose hair was disordered. He said: Could this man not find something to make his hair lie down? He saw another man wearing dirty clothes and said: Could this man not find something to wash his garments with.  

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَأَى رَجُلاً شَعِثًا قَدْ تَفَرَّقَ شَعْرُهُ فَقَالَ أَمَا كَانَ يَجِدُ هَذَا مَا يُسَكِّنُ بِهِ شَعْرَهُ وَرَأَى رَجُلاً آخَرَ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ وَسِخَةٌ فَقَالَ أَمَا كَانَ هَذَا يَجِدُ مَاءً يَغْسِلُ بِهِ ثَوْبَهُ  

I came to the Prophet ﷺ wearing a poor garment and he said (to me): Have you any property? He replied: Yes. He asked: What kind is it? He said: Allah has given me camels. Sheep, horses and slaves. He then said: When Allah gives you property, let the mark of Allah's favour and honour to you be seen.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي ثَوْبٍ دُونٍ فَقَالَ أَلَكَ مَالٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ مِنْ أَىِّ الْمَالِ قَالَ قَدْ أَتَانِيَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالْخَيْلِ وَالرَّقِيقِ قَالَ فَإِذَا أَتَاكَ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَلْيُرَ أَثَرُ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَكَرَامَتِهِ  

Ibn Umar used to dye his beard with yellow colour so much so that his clothes were filled (dyed) with yellowness. He was asked: Why do you dye with yellow colour? He replied: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dyeing with yellow colour, and nothing was dearer to him than it. He would dye all his clothes with it, even his turban.  

إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْبُغُ بِهَا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَىْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْهَا وَقَدْ كَانَ يَصْبُغُ بِهَا ثِيَابَهُ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى عِمَامَتَهُ  

I went with my father to the Prophet ﷺ and saw two green garments over him.  

انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي نَحْوَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَرَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ بُرْدَيْنِ أَخْضَرَيْنِ  

On his father's authority, said that his grandfather said: We came down with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from a turning of a valley. He turned his attention to me and I was wearing a garment dyed with a reddish yellow dye. He asked: What is this garment over you? I recognised what he disliked. I then came to my family who were burning their oven. I threw it (the garment) in it and came to him the next day. He asked: Abdullah, what have you done with the garment? I informed him about it. He said: Why did you not give it to one of your family to wear, for there is no harm in it for women.  

هَبَطْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةٍ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ وَعَلَىَّ رَيْطَةٌ مُضَرَّجَةٌ بِالْعُصْفُرِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الرَّيْطَةُ عَلَيْكَ فَعَرَفْتُ مَا كَرِهَ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي وَهُمْ يَسْجُرُونَ تَنُّورًا لَهُمْ فَقَذَفْتُهَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَتِ الرَّيْطَةُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَلاَ كَسَوْتَهَا بَعْضَ أَهْلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ لِلنِّسَاءِ  

The word mudarrajah mentioned in the previous tradition means a colour which is neither crimson nor pink.  

هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْغَازِ الْمُضَرَّجَةُ الَّتِي لَيْسَتْ بِمُشَبَّعَةٍ وَلاَ الْمُوَرَّدَةُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw me. The version of AbuAli al-Lula' has: I think I wore a garment dyed with a reddish yellow colour. He asked: What is this? So I went and burnt it. The Prophet ﷺ said: What have you done with your garment? I replied: I burnt it. He said: Why did you not give it to one of your women to wear? Abu Dawud said: Thawr transmitted it from Khalid and said: "Pink (muwarrad)" while Tawus said: "Reddish yellow colour (mu'asfar)".  

رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ أُرَاهُ وَعَلَىَّ ثَوْبٌ مَصْبُوغٌ بِعُصْفُرٍ مُوَرَّدٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَحْرَقْتُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا صَنَعْتَ بِثَوْبِكَ فَقُلْتُ أَحْرَقْتُهُ قَالَ أَفَلاَ كَسَوْتَهُ بَعْضَ أَهْلِكَ  

A man wearing two red garments passed the Prophet ﷺ and gave him a greeting, but he did not respond to his greeting.  

مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَحْمَرَانِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْهِ
