The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Say: O Allah, guide me, and set me right. Remember by guidance (hidayah) the showing of the straight path, and remember by setting right (sadad) the setting right of an arrow. Then pointing to the middle finger and the one next to it, he said: He forbade me to wear a signet-ring on this finger of mine or on this (Asim was doubtful). He forbade me to wear qassiyyah (qasi garments) and mitharah. Abu Burdah said: We asked 'Ali: What is qasiyyah ? He said: These are garments imported to us from Syria or Egypt. They are stripped and marked like citrons. And mitharah was a thing made by women for their husbands.

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي وَسَدِّدْنِي وَاذْكُرْ بِالْهِدَايَةِ هِدَايَةَ الطَّرِيقِ وَاذْكُرْ بِالسَّدَادِ تَسْدِيدَكَ السَّهْمَ قَالَ وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَضَعَ الْخَاتَمَ فِي هَذِهِ أَوْ فِي هَذِهِ لِلسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى شَكَّ عَاصِمٌ وَنَهَانِي عَنِ الْقَسِّيَّةِ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ فَقُلْنَا لِعَلِيٍّ مَا الْقَسِّيَّةُ قَالَ ثِيَابٌ تَأْتِينَا مِنَ الشَّامِ أَوْ مِنْ مِصْرَ مُضَلَّعَةٌ فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الأُتْرُجِّ قَالَ وَالْمِيثَرَةُ شَىْءٌ كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade me from wearing qassiyyah and meetharah. Abu Burdah said, "We asked Ali, 'What is qassiyyah?' He said, 'It is a type of garment that we received from Sham (Syria) or Misr (Egypt) that had silk and designs similar to the markings on a zebra. And meetharah is something that women used to make for their husbands, resembling pieces of felt that they would place on their saddles.' Al-Bukhari mentioned it in his Targhib. Abu Ubayd said, 'Meetharah was made from the ships of the non-Arabs, made from dyed or silk materials.' And others have said, 'Meetharah is the skins of wild animals.'"

نَهَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْقَسِّيَّةِ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ قُلْنَا لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ مَا الْقَسِّيَّةُ؟ قَالَ ثِيَابٌ أَتَيْنَا مِنَ الشَّامِ أَوْ مِصْرَ مُضَلَّعَةٌ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْأُتْرُجِّ وَالْمِيثَرَةُ شَيْءٌ كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَمْثَالُ الْقَطَائِفِ يَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى الرِّحَالِ قَدْ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي التَّرْجَمَةِ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْمَيَاثِرُ كَانَتْ مِنْ مَرَاكِبِ الْأَعَاجِمِ مِنْ دِيبَاجٍ أَوْ حَرِيرٍ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ الْمِيثَرَةُ جُلُودُ السِّبَاعِ
