malik:48-2Mālik > Balaghah > ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb > Innī Lʾuḥib

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that Umar ibn al- Khattab said, "I love to look at a Qur'an reader in white garments."  

مالك:٤٨-٢وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّ

أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى الْقَارِئِ أَبْيَضَ الثِّيَابِ
