Musnad Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA)

مسند جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنه

Hadith 33:403

Abu Amir narrated to us, Fulayh narrated to us, Sa’id ibn al-Harith narrated to us, he said: We entered upon Jabir ibn Abdullah while he was praying in a single garment, wrapped in it, and his mantle was near; if he had reached for it, he would have attained it. When he finished the prayer, we asked him about that, and he said: "I only do this so that fools like you might see me, and then spread the concession that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted regarding Jabir." Then Jabir said: I went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on one of his journeys. I came to him one night while he was praying in a single garment, and I had a single garment, so I wrapped myself in it and stood by his side. He said: "O Jabir, what is this wrapping? If you pray and you have a single garment, if it is wide, then wrap yourself in it; and if it is narrow, then tie it around your waist."

حدثنا أبو عامر، حدثنا فليح، حدثنا سعيد بن الحارث، قال: دخلنا على جابر بن عبد الله وهو يصلي في ثوب واحد، ملتحفا به، ورداؤه قريب لو تناوله بلغه، فلما سلم، سألناه عن ذلك، فقال: إنما أفعل هذا ليراني الحمقى أمثالكم، فيفشوا على جابر رخصة رخصها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم قال جابر: خرجت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بعض أسفاره، فجئته ليلة وهو يصلي في ثوب واحد، وعلي ثوب واحد، فاشتملت به، ثم قمت إلى جنبه، قال: " يا جابر، ما هذا الاشتمال؟ إذا صليت وعليك ثوب واحد، فإن كان واسعا فالتحف به، وإن كان ضيقا فاتزر به "
