Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ أَبُو الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، قَالَ جَاءَ سَائِلٌ فَسَأَلَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لِلسَّائِلِ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ، إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَأَلْتَ وَلِلسَّائِلِ حَقٌّ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَصِلَكَ ‏.‏ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثَوْبًا ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ كَسَا مُسْلِمًا ثَوْبًا إِلاَّ كَانَ فِي حِفْظِ اللَّهِ مَا دَامَ مِنْهُ عَلَيْهِ خِرْقَةٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏

Husain reported: ‘A beggar came to Ibn Abbas and asked him for something. Ibn Abbas asked, “Do you testify that there is no god but Allah?” He said, “Yes.” Ibn Abbas asked, “Do you testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Yes.” He asked, “And do you fast Ramadan?” He replied, “Yes.” Ibn Abbas said, “You have asked, and the one who asks has a right. It is our duty to give to you.” He gave him a garment, then said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say: ‘Whenever a Muslim clothes another Muslim, he remains under Allah’s protection as long as a piece of that garment remains on him.’”’ Abu Isa graded this hadith hasan gharib through this chain.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source page labels the report Da'if (Darussalam), while Abu Isa describes it as hasan gharib through this chain; both assessments are retained distinctly.

  • The Arabic ends with the image of a scrap or piece of the garment remaining on the recipient.
