Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَاقِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ صَلَّى جَابِرٌ فِي إِزَارٍ قَدْ عَقَدَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ قَفَاهُ، وَثِيَابُهُ مَوْضُوعَةٌ عَلَى الْمِشْجَبِ قَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ تُصَلِّي فِي إِزَارٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُ ذَلِكَ لِيَرَانِي أَحْمَقُ مِثْلُكَ، وَأَيُّنَا كَانَ لَهُ ثَوْبَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم

Translation

Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us: Asim ibn Muhammad narrated to us: Waqid ibn Muhammad told me, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, who said: Jabir prayed wearing a waist wrapper tied behind his neck, while his clothes lay on a clothes rack. Someone said to him, ‘You are praying in a single waist wrapper?’ He replied, ‘I did this so that a fool like you could see me. Which of us had two garments in the time of the Prophet?’
