Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَلْ تَزَوَّجْتَ " . قُلْتُ نَعَمْ . قَالَ " هَلِ اتَّخَذْتُمْ أَنْمَاطًا " . قُلْتُ وَأَنَّى لَنَا أَنْمَاطٌ قَالَ " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ " .
Translation
Qutaybah narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn al-Munkadir, from Jabir, who said: The Messenger of Allah said to me, ‘Have you married?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He asked, ‘Have you acquired any namat furnishings?’ I said, ‘How could we have any namat?’ He said, ‘You will have them.’
Translation notes
Namat refers to patterned furnishings or rugs; the Arabic term is retained because its precise household item is uncertain in this report.
