malik:3-73Mālik > Hishām b. ʿUrwah from his father

Malik related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore a fine striped garment f rom Syria, and then gave it to Abu Jahm and took a plain, rough, garment in return. Abu Jahm asked, "Messenger of Allah! Why?" He said, "I looked at its stripes in the prayer."  

مالك:٣-٧٣وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَبِسَ خَمِيصَةً شَامِيَّةً لَهَا عَلَمٌ ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهَا أَبَا جَهْمٍ وَأَخَذَ مِنْ أَبِي جَهْمٍ أَنْبِجَانِيَّةً لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلِمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ
