[Machine] While the Prophet ﷺ was sitting with his companions, he tore his shirt until it came off. So someone said to him, "And what made you do that?" He replied, "I had prepared them to imitate my clothing today, but I forgot."  

أحمد:١٤١٢٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَيْ جَابِرٍ يُحَدِّثَانِ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا قَالَ

بَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَالِسٌ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ شَقَّ قَمِيصَهُ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُفَقَالَ وَاعَدْتُهُمْ يُقَلِّدُونَ هَدْيِي الْيَوْمَ فَنَسِيتُ

"عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا النَّبِىُّ ﷺ جَالِسٌ مَعَ أصْحَابِهِ إِذْ شَقَّ قَمِيصَهُ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْهُ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: فَقَالَ: إِنِّى وَاعَدْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُقَلّدُوا هَدْيى الْيَوْمَ فَنَسِيتُ".
