Mishkat al-Masabih 1620
Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ سجي بِبرد حبرَة
Translation
Aisha reported: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, died, he was covered with a striped hibara cloak.
Translation notes
حبرَة
The garment term ḥibara refers to a patterned or striped cloth; retaining its name avoids overstating the exact fabric or weave.
Should ḥibara be retained as a textile name or rendered simply as a striped garment?
