Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that
Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari said, "We went out with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, in the raid on the Banu Ammar tribe." Jabir said,
"I was resting under a tree when the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came. I said,
'Messenger of Allah; come to the shade.' So the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sat
down, and I stood up and went to a sack of ours. I looked
in it for something and found a small cucumber and broke
it. Then I brought it to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace. He said, 'From where did
you get this?' I said, 'We brought it from Madina,
Messenger of Allah.' "
Jabir continued, "We had a friend of ours with us whom
we used to equip to go out to guard our mounts. I gave him
what was necessary and then he turned about to go to the
mounts and he was wearing two threadbare cloaks of his.
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, looked at him and said, 'Does he have two garments
other than these?' I said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah. He
has two garments in the bag.' I gave them to him. He said,
'Let him go and put them on.' I let him go to put them on.
As he turned to go, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, exclaimed, 'May Allah
strike his neck. Isn't that better for him?' He said
(taking him literally), 'Messenger of Allah, in the way of
Allah.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, 'In the way of Allah.' " Jabir
added, "The man was killed in the way of Allah."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Abi Tamim
that Ibn Sirin said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab said, 'Allah
has been generous to you, so be generous to yourselves.
Let a man wear a combination of his garments.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar wore garments dyed with red earth and dyed with
saffron.
Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "I disapprove of
youths wearing any gold because I heard that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade
wearing gold rings, and I disapprove of it for males old
or young."
Yahya said, "I heard Malik say about men wearing wraps
dyed with safflower in their houses and courtyards, 'I do
not know that any of that is haram but I prefer other
garments than that.' "
Malik related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that A'isha the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, dressed Abdullah ibn
az-Zubayr in a shawl of silk which A'isha used to wear.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Alqama ibn Abi
Alqama that his mother said, "Hafsa bint Abd ar-Rahman
visited A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and Hafsa was wearing a long thin
head scarf A'isha tore it in two and made a wide one for
her."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muslim ibn Abi
Maryam from Abu Salih that Abu Hurayra said, "Women who
are naked even though they are wearing clothes, go astray
and make others go astray, and they will not enter the
Garden and they will not find its scent, and its scent is
experienced from as far as the distance travelled in five
hundred years."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from
Ibn Shihab that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, stood up in the night and looked
at the horizon of the sky. He said, "What treasures has
the night opened? What trials have occurred? How many are
dressed in this world and will be naked on the Day of
Rising. Warn the women in their rooms."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar
from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A person who
drags his garment in arrogance will not be looked at by
Allah on the Day of Rising."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from
al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "On the Day of
Rising, Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, will not look at a
person who drags his lower garment in arrogance."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi and Abdullah
ibn Dinar and Zayd ibn Aslam that all of them informed him
from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "On the Day of
Rising, Allah will not look at a person who drags his
garment in arrogance."
Yahya related to me from Malik from al Ala ibn Abd
ar-Rahman that his father said, "I asked Abu Said al-Khudri
about the lower garment. He said that he would inform me
with knowledge and that he had heard the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'The
lower garment of the mumin should reach to the middle of
his calves. There is no harm in what is between that and
the ankles. What is lower than that is in the Fire. What
is lower than that is in the Fire. On the Day of Rising,
Allah will not look at a person who trails his lower
garment in arrogance.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Bakr ibn Nafi
from his father Nafi, the mawla of Ibn Umar that Safiyya
bint Abi Ubayd informed him that Umm Salama, the wife of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said
that when the lower garment of women was mentioned to the
Messenger of Allah, he said, "She lets it down a handspan."
Umm Salama said, "If it leaves her uncovered?" He said,
"Then the length of a forearm and let her not increase
it."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from
al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not wear
one sandal. Wear both of them or go with both feet bare."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from
al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you put
on sandals, begin with the right foot. When you take them
off, begin with the left foot. The right foot is the first
to be put in the sandal and the last to be taken out."
Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle
Abu Suhayl ibn Malik from his father that Kab al-Ahbar
said to a man who took off his sandals, "Why have you
taken off your sandals? Perhaps you have interpreted this
ayat, 'Remove your sandals. You are in the pure valley of
Tuwa?' (Sura 20 ayat 12) Do you know what the sandals of
Musa were?"
Malik (the father of Abu Suhayl) said, "I do not know
what the man answered." Kab said, "They were made from the
skin of a dead donkey."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from
al-Araj that Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade two
sales. Mulamasa, in which a man is obliged to buy whatever
he touches without any choice in the matter, and munabadha,
in which two men throw their garment to each other without
either seeing the other's garment. He also forbade two
ways of dressing. One in which a man sits with his legs
drawn up to his chest wrapped in one garment that does not
cover his genitals, and the other in which a man wraps a
single garment over one arm and shoulder restricting
them."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah
ibn Umar that Umar ibn al-Khattab saw a silk robe at the
door of the mosque. He said, "Messenger of Allah, would
you buy this robe and wear it on jumua and when envoys
come to you?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Only a person who has no
portion in the next world wears this." Then the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
brought some robes of the same material and gave Umar ibn
al-Khattab one of the robes. Umar said, "Messenger of
Allah, do you clothe me in it when you said what you said
about the robe of Utarid?" The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I did not give
it to you to wear." Umar gave it to a brother of his in
Makka who was still an idolater.
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah
ibn Abi Talha said, "Anas ibn Malik said, 'I saw Umar ibn
al-Khattab when he was the amir of Madina. Three patches
were sewn between his shoulders, one patched over the
other.' ''
