حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ بِشِمَالِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَبِيَمِينِهِ رَجُلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، مَا رَأَيْتُهُمَا قَبْلُ وَلاَ بَعْدُ.
On the day of the battle of Uhud, on the right and on the left of the Prophet (ﷺ) were two men wearing
white clothes, and I had neither seen them before, nor did I see them afterwards.
I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was wearing white clothes and sleeping. Then I went back to him again
after he had got up from his sleep. He said, "Nobody says: 'None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah' and then later on he dies while believing in that, except that he will enter Paradise."
I said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?" He said. 'Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft."
I said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?" He said. 'Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft."
I said, 'Even it he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?' He said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft, inspite of the Abu Dharr's dislike. Abu `Abdullah said, "This is at the time of death or before it if one repents and regrets and says "None has the right to
be worshipped but Allah. He will be forgiven his sins."
While we were with `Utba bin Farqad at Adharbijan, there came `Umar's letter indicating that Allah's
Apostle had forbidden the use of silk except this much, then he pointed with his index and middle
fingers. To our knowledge, by that he meant embroidery.

While Hudhaifa was at Al-Madain, he asked for water whereupon the chief of the village brought him
water in a silver cup. Hudhaifa threw it at him and said, "I have thrown it only because I have
forbidden him to use it, but he does not stop using it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Gold, silver, silk and Dibaj
(a kind of silk) are for them (unbelievers) in this world and for you (Muslims) in the hereafter.'

`Umar saw a silk suit being sold, so he said, "O Allah's Messenger (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 `Umar a silk suit suitable for
wearing. `Umar 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."

For one year I wanted to ask `Umar about the two women who helped each other against the Prophet (ﷺ)
but I was afraid of him. One day he dismounted his riding animal and went among the trees of Arak to
answer the call of nature, and when he returned, I asked him and he said, "(They were) `Aisha and
Hafsa." Then he added, "We never used to give significance to ladies in the days of the Pre-lslamic
period of ignorance, but when Islam came and Allah mentioned their rights, we used to give them
their rights but did not allow them to interfere in our affairs.
Once there was some dispute between me and my wife and she answered me back in a loud voice. I
said to her, 'Strange! You can retort in this way?' She said, 'Yes. Do you say this to me while your
daughter troubles Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?' So I went to Hafsa and said to her, 'I warn you not to disobey
Allah and His Apostle.' I first went to Hafsa and then to Um Salama and told her the same. She said to
me, 'O `Umar! It surprises me that you interfere in our affairs so much that you would poke your nose
even into the affairs of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his wives.' So she rejected my advice. There was an Ansari
man; whenever he was absent from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I was present there, I used to convey to him
what had happened (on that day), and when I was absent and he was present there, he used to convey
to me what had happened as regards news from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) .
During that time all the rulers of the nearby lands had surrendered to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except the king
of Ghassan in Sham, and we were afraid that he might attack us. All of a sudden the Ansari came and
said, 'A great event has happened!' I asked him, 'What is it? Has the Ghassani (king) come?' He said,
'Greater than that! Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has divorced his wives! I went to them and found all of them
weeping in their dwellings, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had ascended to an upper room of his. At the door of the
room there was a slave to whom I went and said, "Ask the permission for me to enter." He admitted
me and I entered to see the Prophet (ﷺ) lying on a mat that had left its imprint on his side. Under his head
there was a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. Behold! There were some hides hanging there and
some grass for tanning. Then I mentioned what I had said to Hafsa and Um Salama and what reply
Um Salama had given me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and stayed there for twenty nine days and then
came down." (See Hadith No. 648, Vol. 3 for details)
One night the Prophet (ﷺ) woke up, saying, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! How many
afflictions have been sent down tonight, and how many treasures have been sent down (disclosed)!
Who will go and wake up (for prayers) the lady dwellers of these rooms? Many well dressed soul
(people) in this world, will be naked on the Day of Resurrection."
Some clothes were presented to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as a gift and there was a black Khamisa with it. The
Prophet asked (his companions), "To whom do you suggest we give this Khamisa?" The people kept
quiet. Then he said, "Bring me Um Khalid," So I was brought to him and he dressed me with it with
his own hands and said twice, "May you live so long that you will wear out many garments." He then
started looking at the embroidery of that Khamisa and said, "O Um Khalid! This is Sana!" (Sana in
Ethiopian language means beautiful.) 'Is-haq, a sub-narrator, said: A woman of my family had told me
that she had seen the Khamisa worn by Um Khalid.
