Arabic hadith text

وَعَن أنسٍ قَالَ: رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فِي لبس الْحَرِير لحكة بهما وَفِي رِوَايَة لمُسلم قَالَ: إنَّهُمَا شكوا من الْقمل فَرخص لَهما فِي قمص الْحَرِير

Translation

Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted al-Zubayr and Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf permission to wear silk because they suffered from itching. One version from Muslim says that the two men complained of lice, so he permitted them to wear silk shirts.
