tirmidhi:1784Qutaybah > Muḥammad b. Rabīʿah > Abū al-Ḥasan al-ʿAsqalānī > Abū Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. Rukānah from his father

From his father that Rukanah wrestled the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ won the match. Rukanah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'Indeed what distinguishes between us and between the idolater is the turban over the cap.'"  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib. Its chain is not established, and we do not know of Abu Al-Hasan Al-'Asqalani, nor Ibn Rukanah.
الترمذي:١٧٨٤حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْقَلاَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ صَارَعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَصَرَعَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ رُكَانَةُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ فَرْقَ مَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ الْعَمَائِمُ عَلَى الْقَلاَنِسِ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَإِسْنَادُهُ لَيْسَ بِالْقَائِمِ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْقَلاَنِيَّ وَلاَ ابْنَ رُكَانَةَ
