Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1175
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ لِبْسَتَيْنِ وَبَيْعَتَيْنِ: نَهَى عَنِ الْمُلاَمَسَةِ، وَالْمُنَابَذَةِ فِي الْبَيْعِ، الْمُلاَمَسَةُ: أَنْ يَمَسَّ الرَّجُلُ ثَوْبَهُ، وَالْمُنَابَذَةُ: يَنْبُذُ الْآخَرُ إِلَيْهِ ثَوْبَهُ، وَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ بَيْعَهُمْ عَنْ غَيْرِ نَظَرٍ. وَاللِّبْسَتَيْنِ اشْتِمَالُ الصَّمَّاءِ، وَالصَّمَّاءُ: أَنْ يَجْعَلَ طَرَفَ ثَوْبِهِ عَلَى إِحْدَى عَاتِقَيْهِ، فَيَبْدُو أَحَدُ شِقَّيْهِ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ، وَاللِّبْسَةُ الأُخْرَى احْتِبَاؤُهُ بِثَوْبِهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ، لَيْسَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ.

‘Abd Allah ibn Salih related to us: al-Layth related to me: Yunus related to me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: ‘Amir ibn Sa‘d informed me that Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade two kinds of dress and two kinds of sale. He forbade mulamasah and munabadah in sales. Mulamasah is when a man touches a garment, and munabadah is when one man throws his garment to another; this is their sale without inspection. The two kinds of dress are ishtimal al-samma’: a man puts one end of his garment over one shoulder, leaving one side of his body exposed with nothing over it; and the other kind is ihtiba’ with his garment while seated, with nothing from it covering his private parts.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic itself defines the named sales and forms of dress; the terms are retained to keep those labels distinct.
الْمُنَابَذَةِ
These are named transaction forms whose exact procedural details may merit specialist review; the Arabic gives brief definitions.
Do these English descriptions accurately preserve the transactional mechanics specified in the Arabic?
اشْتِمَالُ الصَّمَّاءِ
The Arabic text defines the wearing configuration immediately afterward, but the technical label has no simple English equivalent.
Should the technical label be retained alongside the source’s description?
