Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ‏:‏ رَأَى عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فَقَالَ‏:‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ابْتَعْ هَذِهِ، فَالْبَسْهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَإِذَا جَاءَكَ الْوُفُودُ، قَالَ‏:‏ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ، فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْهَا بِحُلَلٍ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِحُلَّةٍ، فَقَالَ‏:‏ كَيْفَ أَلْبَسُهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ إِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا، وَلَكِنْ تَبِيعَهَا أَوْ تَكْسُوَهَا، فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى أَخٍ لَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ‏.‏

Musa narrated to us. He said: 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Muslim narrated to us, from 'Abd Allah ibn Dinar, who said: I heard Ibn 'Umar say: 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, saw a patterned robe for sale and said: “Messenger of Allah, buy this and wear it on Friday and when delegations come to you.” He said: “Only someone with no share [in the Hereafter] wears this.” Then some robes of that kind were brought to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he sent one robe to 'Umar. He said: “How can I wear it, when you said what you said about it?” He said: “I did not give it to you to wear, but so that you could sell it or clothe someone with it.” 'Umar then sent it to a brother of his from among the people of Mecca before he became Muslim.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى،

    The Arabic includes the chain from Musa through 'Abd Allah ibn Dinar; the English witness omits it.

    Should the English witness be marked as abridged for this occurrence?

  • عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ‏:‏ رَأَى عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فَقَالَ‏:‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ،

    The source calls the garment حُلَّة سِيَرَاء; the witness identifies it as silk, but the assigned source package does not resolve the exact textile description.

    What rendering of سِيَرَاء is supported for this occurrence?
