Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 581
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُسَيْدٍ إِذَا رَكِبَ، وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، وَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ عَنْ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ هَذَا.

Abu Hafs ibn ‘Ali related to us: Abu ‘Asim related to us, from ‘Amr ibn Wahb, who said: I saw Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Usayd riding while he was in ihram. He took his garment off his shoulders and placed it over his thighs. I asked, “What is this?” He replied, “I saw ‘Abdullah do the same.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic says he removed the garment from his shoulders and placed it on his thighs. The English witness says he placed it on his shoulder, which conflicts with the Arabic.
وَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ عَنْ مَنْكِبَيْهِ،
The Arabic explicitly says the garment was taken off his shoulders; the witness appears to reverse the preposition.
Is the witness’s “on his shoulder” a translation error? The Arabic rendering here follows عن.
