حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا اسْتَجَدَّ ثَوْبًا سَمَّاهُ بِاسْمِهِ عِمَامَةً أَوْ قَمِيصًا أَوْ رِدَاءً ثُمَّ يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيهِ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهُ وَخَيْرَ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Suwayd ibn Nasr informed us: Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Sa‘id al-Jurayri, from Abu Nadr, from Abu Sa‘id, who said: When the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) acquired a new garment, he named it—a turban, a shirt, or a mantle—then said: ‘O Allah, to You belongs praise. You have clothed me with it. I ask You for its good and the good of what it was made for, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what it was made for.’
Abu Isa said: Reports on this subject are also related from Umar and Ibn Umar.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The English witness begins at Abu Sa‘id and omits the preceding chain (Suwayd ibn Nasr, Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, Sa‘id al-Jurayri, and Abu Nadr). The Arabic names three types of garment: imamah (turban), qamis (shirt), and rida’ (mantle/wrap). The English witness has ‘the god for which it was made,’ apparently a typo for ‘good’; the Arabic says ‘the good of what it was made for.’
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ،
The English witness omits four transmitters preceding Abu Sa‘id in the Arabic chain.
Can the English witness’s abbreviated isnad be confirmed as an intentional editorial choice?
قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا اسْتَجَدَّ ثَوْبًا سَمَّاهُ بِاسْمِهِ عِمَامَةً أَوْ قَمِيصًا أَوْ رِدَاءً ثُمَّ يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيهِ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهُ وَخَيْرَ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ " .
The English witness says ‘god’ where the Arabic says the good/benefit for which the garment was made; this appears to be a typographic error.
Is ‘god’ a typographical error for ‘good’ in the English witness?
