Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، زُغْبَةُ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا، يَقُولُ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنْ لَبُوسِ الْقِسِّيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ وَقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ ‏.‏

Translation

ʿIsa ibn Hammad (Zughbah) informed us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, that Ibrahim ibn ʿAbdullah ibn Hunayn told him that his father told him that he heard ʿAli say: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me gold rings, al-qassiy, safflower-dyed cloth, and reciting the Qur’an while I am bowing.”

Translation notes
  • Al-qassiy is retained in transliteration; its precise garment or material is not identified in the source wording.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ،

    The English witness is abridged in the transmission chain; the Arabic source preserves it.

    Should the English witness include the omitted chain in its separate source record?

  • يَقُولُ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنْ لَبُوسِ الْقِسِّيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ وَقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ ‏.

    The source names al-qassiy but does not explain the garment or material.

    What garment or material is intended by al-qassiy here?
