Ishaq bin Rahwayh (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I asked Abu Qurrah Musa bin Tariq (may Allah have mercy on him): Did Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) narrate, through Muslim bin Abi Maryam (may Allah have mercy on him), from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him), the report that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed one day wearing a striped cloak (namirah), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to one of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with him): "Give me your cloak and take my cloak yourself." He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), your cloak is finer than my cloak. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, but there is a red thread in it, and I feared that I would look at it and it would put me to trial (that is, distract me)." Did he acknowledge this? Abu Qurrah (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: "Yes."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain, and Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
