حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " كَانَ عَلَى مُوسَى يَوْمَ كَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ كِسَاءُ صُوفٍ وَجُبَّةُ صُوفٍ وَكُمَّةُ صُوفٍ وَسَرَاوِيلُ صُوفٍ وَكَانَتْ نَعْلاَهُ مِنْ جِلْدِ حِمَارٍ مَيِّتٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ حُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ . وَحُمَيْدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيُّ . قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الأَعْرَجُ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الأَعْرَجُ الْمَكِّيُّ صَاحِبُ مُجَاهِدٍ ثِقَةٌ . وَالْكُمَّةُ الْقَلَنْسُوَةُ الصَّغِيرَةُ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us: Khalaf ibn Khalifah narrated to us, from Humayd al-A‘raj, from Abdullah ibn al-Harith, from Ibn Masud, from the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), who said: ‘On the day his Lord spoke to him, Musa wore a wool cloak, a wool tunic, a wool cap, and wool trousers; his sandals were made from the hide of a dead donkey.’
Abu Isa said: This hadith is gharib; we know it only through the report of Humayd al-A‘raj. Humayd is Ibn Ali al-Kufi. I heard Muhammad say: ‘Humayd ibn Ali al-A‘raj is munkar al-hadith, whereas Humayd ibn Qays al-A‘raj al-Makki, the companion of Mujahid, is trustworthy.’ A kummah is a small cap.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness begins at Ibn Masud and omits the preceding chain (Ali ibn Hujr, Khalaf ibn Khalifah, Humayd al-A‘raj, and Abdullah ibn al-Harith). The source explicitly says the sandals were made from the hide of a dead donkey.
The compiler distinguishes two transmitters named Humayd al-A‘raj: Humayd ibn Ali al-Kufi, whose reports Muhammad evaluates as munkar al-hadith, and Humayd ibn Qays al-Makki, described as trustworthy. Kummah is explained in the Arabic as a small qalansuwah (cap).
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ،
The English witness omits four transmitters preceding Ibn Masud in the Arabic chain.
Can the English witness’s abbreviated isnad be confirmed as an intentional editorial choice?
