Hadith 471
حَدَّثَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: أَمْسِكْ حَتَّى أَخِيطَ نَقْبَتِي فَأَمْسَكْتُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لَوْ خَرَجْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ لَعَدُّوهُ مِنْكِ بُخْلاً، قَالَتْ: أَبْصِرْ شَأْنَكَ، إِنَّهُ لاَ جَدِيدَ لِمَنْ لاَ يَلْبَسُ الْخَلَقَ.
Kathir bin Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I went to the service of Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and she said: Wait a moment while I sew my pajama. Kathir bin Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I waited and said: Umm al-Mu'mineen! If I go outside and tell people that you are mending an old garment, they will count it as your miserliness. She said: Speak with understanding; the fact is that whoever does not wear old clothes has no right to new clothes.
