Hadith 5824

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ ، قَالَتْ لِي : يَا أَنَسُ انْظُرْ هَذَا الْغُلَامَ فَلَا يُصِيبَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَغْدُوَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَنِّكُهُ ، فَغَدَوْتُ بِهِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي حَائِطٍ وَعَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ حُرَيْثِيَّةٌ ، وَهُوَ يَسِمُ الظَّهْرَ الَّذِي قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْفَتْحِ " .
Narrated Anas: When Um Sulaim gave birth to a child. she said to me, "O Anas! Watch this boy carefully and do not give him anything to eat or drink until you have taken him to the Prophet tomorrow morning for the Tahnik." So the next morning I took the child to the Prophet who was sitting in a garden and was wearing a Huraithiya Khamisa and was branding the she-camel on which he had come during the Conquest of Mecca.

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Dawood Raz
Hadith Commentary:
Harithi is a nisbah (attribution) to Harith.
Perhaps he began making these cloaks; in some narrations, it is "Khaybari."
In some, it is "Juni," which is a nisbah to Banu al-Jawn.
Hafiz said that the Juni cloak is most common here.
Thus, the correspondence with the chapter heading is established.
There are many benefits to possessing or wearing a black cloak, and the greatest benefit is that keeping such a cloak refreshes the memory of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), which is the greatest felicity for us. Allahumma arzuqna, ameen.
Harithi is a nisbah to a cloth-maker named Harith.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
"Khameesah" refers to a black cloak which is attributed to Harith. It is possible that this person from the tribe of Quda‘ah used to make such woolen cloaks. Some scholars have read it as "Juniyyah," which is attributed to Banu Jun, or its color was black and white, and on this basis it was called Juniyyah.

(2)
There are many benefits to this black woolen cloak:
The greatest benefit is that by keeping such a warm black cloak, the memory of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is revived.
Aishah (radi Allahu anha) states that she dyed a woolen cloak black for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and he wore it, but when he perspired in it and sensed the smell of wool, he removed it and cast it aside.
