Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3207 — Dislike of decking houses with curtains

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، ثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ : دُعِيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَأَى الْبَيْتَ مُنَجَّدًا فَقَعَدَ خَارِجًا يَبْكِي ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : مَا يُبْكِيكَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا شَيَّعَ جَيْشًا فَبَلَغَ عَقَبَةَ الْوَدَاعِ ، قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللهَ دِينَكُمْ وَأَمَانَتَكُمْ وَخَوَاتِيمَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ " ، فَرَأَى رَجُلًا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قَدْ رَقَّعَ بُرْدَةً لَهُ بِقِطْعَةِ فَرْوٍ فَقَالَ : فَاسْتَقْبَلَ مَطْلِعَ الشَّمْسِ ، وَقَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ ، وَوَصَفَ حَمَّادٌ بِيَدَيْهِ بِبَاطِنِ الْكَفَّيْنِ وَمَدَّ يَدَيْهِ : " تَطَالَعَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا - أَيْ أَقْبَلَتْ - حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَيْنَا ، وَيَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي حُلَّةٍ وَيَرُوحَ فِي أُخْرَى ، وَتَسْتُرُونَ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تَسْتُرُونَ الْكَعْبَةَ " فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ : أَوَلَا أَبْكِي وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُكُمْ تَسْتُرُونَ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تَسْتُرُونَ الْكَعْبَةَ .
قُلْتُ : أَخْرَجَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ قِصَّةَ الْقَوْلِ عِنْدَ التَّوْدِيعِ فَقَطَّ ، وَإِسْنَادُهُمَا حَسَنٌ .
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ka'b that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) was invited to a meal. When he arrived, he saw that the house had been decorated (with costly cloths and curtains), so he sat down outside and began to weep. He was asked: "What has made you weep?" He said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw off an army and they reached the place called Thaniyyat al-Wada' ('Aqabat al-Wada'), the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would make this supplication: "Astawdi'ullaha dinakum wa amanatakum wa khawatima a'malikum" (I entrust to Allah your religion, your trustworthiness and the final outcomes of your deeds). Then (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) related) that one day he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man who had patched his cloak with a piece of fur, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards the place of sunrise and gestured with his hands like this (and Hammad demonstrated it by spreading out the palms of both his hands), and said: "The world has risen upon you (that is, it has turned fully towards you), until we thought it would fall upon us; and (a time will come when) one of you will go out in the morning wearing one garment and in the evening wear another, and you will hang curtains on your houses (covering their walls) just as the Ka'bah is covered." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) said (seeing the present situation): "How should I not weep, when I have seen you covering your houses (with curtains) just as the Ka'bah is covered?"
I (Ibn Hajar) say: Imam Abu Dawud and Imam al-Nasa'i recorded only the story of the words said at the time of farewell, and the chains of both are hasan (good).
