34. Clothing
٣٤۔ كتاب اللباس
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
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
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
