52. Adornments
٥٢۔ كِتَابُ الزِّينَةِ
[Machine] I heard Ali saying, "I gifted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a robe made of silk, and he sent it to me. I wore it and noticed anger on his face. He said, 'Certainly, I did not give it to you for you to wear it.' He then ordered me to give it to my wives." Abu Abdur Rahman said, "Ishaq reported that Mahanu narrated this, but the correct narration is from Abdul Rahman bin Qais, the brother of Talik." Shu'bah reported it from Abdul Malik bin Maysarah, from Zaid bin Wahb, from Ali.
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ أَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ فَلَبِسْتُهَا فَعَرَفْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَهَا لِتَلْبَسْهَا» فَأَمَرَنِي فَأَطَرْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَذَا قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ مَاهَانُ وَالصَّوَابُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ أَخُو طَلِيقٍ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me a suit of pure silk and I went out wearing it. But I saw anger on his face, so i tore it and divided it among my womenfolk. (Using translation from Aḥmad 755)
«كَسَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا فَرَأَيْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي»
I heard ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me, but I do not say that he forbade you, to wear gold rings, to wear garments made of a blend of linen and silk or garments dyed with safflower, and to recite Qurʿan whilst bowing. He gave me a suit of pure silk and I went out wearing it, and he said: ʿO ‘Ali, I did not give it to you to wear it.” So I went back to Fatimah ؓ and gave it to her to hold an edge of it, so she took hold of it to fold it with me, but I tore it in two. She said: May your hands be rubbed with dust, O son of Abu Talib! What have you done? I said to her. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me to wear it. Wear it and give it to your womenfolk. (Using translation from Aḥmad 710)
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنْ لُبُوسِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ وَقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ وَكَسَانِي حُلَّةً مِنْ سِيَرَاءَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ لِي «يَا عَلِيُّ لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا» فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا كَأَنَّهَا تُطْوَى مَعِي فَشَقَقْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مَا جِئْتُ بِهِ قَالَ «نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَلْبَسَهَا فَالْبَسِيهَا وَاكْسِي نِسَاءَكَ»
[Machine] I went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the market, leaning against him. I saw a flowing garment being sold at the market, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you buy this and adorn yourself with it when Arab delegations come to you or when you address the people on Eid and other occasions." He said, "This is only worn by those who have no good character." So, I stayed for as long as Allah willed, then a flowing garment was given as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he sent it to me. I went out hastily when I heard about it and when he sent it to me, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you are sending me this garment, and yet I heard you say about it what you said?" He said, "Indeed, I only sent it to you for you to wear it or sell it and spend its price. I did not send it to you for you to adorn yourself with it." So, Umar sent it to the market.
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى السُّوقِ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى فِيهِ فَرَأَيْتُ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ ابْتَعْتَ هَذِهِ فَتَجَمَّلْتَ بِهَا لِوُفُودِ الْعَرَبِ إِذَا أَتَوْكَ وَإِذَا خَطَبْتَ النَّاسَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ وَغَيْرِهِ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ» فَمَكَثَتْ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ فَخَرَجْتُ فَزِعًا لَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ وَلِإِرْسَالِهِ بِهَا إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تُرْسِلُ بِهَذِهِ الْحُلَّةِ إِلَيَّ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ «إِنِّي إِنَّمَا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَكْسُوَهَا أَوْ تَبِيعَهَا وَتَسْتَنْفِقَ بِثَمَنِهَا لَمْ أُرْسِلْ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَلْبَسَهَا» فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى السُّوقِ
He saw a Hullah of Sira' silk being offered for sale at the door of the Masjid. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, why don't you buy this and wear it on Fridays, and (when meeting) the delegations when they come to you?" The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "This is only worn by one who has no share in the Hereafter." After that some (other) Hullahs were brought to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he gave me one. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, you gave me this when you said what you said about it!" The Prophet [SAW] said: "I did not give it to you to wear it! Rather I gave it to you to give away or to sell." So 'Umar gave it to a brother of his son on his mother's side who was an idolater. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5295)
أَنَّهُ رَأَى حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَهَا لِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ» قَالَ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدُ مِنْهَا حُلَلٌ فَكَسَانِي مِنْهَا حُلَّةً فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا إِنَّمَا كَسَوْتُكَهَا لِتَكْسُوَهَا أَوْ لِتَبِيعَهَا» فَكَسَاهَا عُمَرُ أَخًا لَهُ مِنْ أُمَّهِ مُشْرِكًا خَالَفَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَجِيحٍ رَوَاهُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَأَى حُلَّةً
ʿUmar saw a silk suit being sold, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Why don't you buy it so that you may wear it when delegates come to you, and also on Fridays?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is worn only by him who has no share in the Hereafter." Afterwards the Prophet ﷺ sent to ʿUmar a silk suit suitable for wearing. ʿUmar said to the Prophet, "You have given it to me to wear, yet I have heard you saying about it what you said?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I sent it to you so that you might either sell it or give it to somebody else to wear." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5841)
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوِ ابْتَعْتَ هَذِهِ الْحُلَّةَ فَلَبِسْتَهَا لِلْوَفْدِ وَلِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ» إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِحُلَّةٍ سِيَرَاءَ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ كَسَاهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ فَقَالَ «تَبِيعُهَا أَوْ تَكْسُوهَا»
[Machine] That Umar went out and saw a decorated garment being sold in the market. He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, buy it and wear it on Friday when the delegation comes to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is only worn by those who have no manners." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought three garments from it. Umar wore one, Ali wore one, and Usamah wore one. Umar came to him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, you said about it what you said." He said, "Sell it and fulfill your need with it or tear it into pieces to distribute it among your wives." 9500 Imran ibn Musa al-Basri informed us, he said, Abdul Warith informed us, he said, Yahya informed us, he is the son of Ishaq, he said, Salim asked, "What is Istibrak?" I said, "It is what is thick from the dip and rough from it." He said, "I heard Abdullah ibn Umar saying, Umar ibn al-Khattab saw a man wearing a silk garment, so he brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, buy this.' And he narrated the hadith."
أَنَّ عُمَرَ خَرَجَ فَرَأَى حُلَّةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ تُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اشْتَرِهَا فَالْبَسْهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ حِينَ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْكَ الْوَفْدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِثَلَاثِ حُلَلٍ مِنْهَا فَكَسَا عُمَرُ حُلَّةً وَكَسَا عَلِيًّا حُلَّةً وَكَسَا أُسَامَةَ حُلَّةً فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ ثُمَّ بَعَثْتَ إِلَيَّ قَالَ «بِعْهَا فَاقْضِ بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ أَوْ شَقِّقْهَا خُمُرًا بَيْنَ نِسَائِكَ» 9500 أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى بَصْرِيٌّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ قَالَ سَالِمٌ مَا الْإِسْتَبْرَقُ؟ قُلْتُ مَا غَلُظَ مِنَ الدِّيبَاجِ وَخَشُنَ مِنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ رَأَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَعَ رَجُلٍ حُلَّةَ سُنْدُسٍ فَأَتَى بِهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اشْتَرِ هَذِهِ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ
'Umar b. at-Khattab found a silk garment being sold in the market; he purchased it and brought it to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, get it and adorn yourself (by wearing it) on the 'Id (days) and for the delegation. Thereupon, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: That is the dress of one who has no share (in the Hereafter). 'Umar stayed there so long as Allah wished. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him a silk cloak. 'Umar came back with that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah. you said that it is the dress of one who has no share in the Hereafter, but then you sent it to me. Thereupon, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You sell it and meet your need (with its proceeds). (Using translation from Muslim 2068d)
وَجَدَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ حُلَّةً مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ تُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَتَى بِهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْتَعْ هَذِهِ فَتَجَمَّلْ بِهَا لِلْعِيدِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ لِبَاسُ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ» فَلَبِثَ عُمَرُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَلْبَثَ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِحُلَّةِ دِيبَاجٍ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ حَتَّى أَتَى بِهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قُلْتَ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ لِبَاسُ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ بِهَذِهِ الْجُبَّةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَبِيعُهَا أَوْ تُصِيبُ بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ»
ʿUmar saw a silken cloak over a man for sale and requested the Prophet ﷺ to buy it in order to wear it on Fridays and while meeting delegates. The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is worn by the one who will have no share in the Hereafter." Later on Messenger of Allah ﷺ got some silken cloaks similar to that one, and he sent one to ʿUmar. ʿUmar said to the Prophet ﷺ "How can I wear it, while you said about it what you said?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have not given it to you to wear, but to sell or to give to someone else." So, ʿUmar sent it to his brother at Mecca before he embraced Islam. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2619)
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْتَعْ هَذِهِ الْحُلَّةَ فَتَلْبَسَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَإِنْ جَاءَ الْوَفْدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ» فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْهَا بِحُلَلٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْهَا بِحُلَّةٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ كَيْفَ أَلْبَسُهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ؟ قَالَ «لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا وَلَكِنْ تَبِيعُهَا أَوْ تَكْسُوهَا» فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى أَخٍ لَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ
