Musnad Abi Ya'la 606 — I was sitting with my father when Sayyiduna Ali
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِي ، فَأَتَانَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ بِأَمْرٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : قُلِ : اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي وَسَدِّدْنِي ، وَاذْكُرْ بِالْهُدَى هِدَايَتَكَ الطَّرِيقَ ، وَاذْكُرْ بِالسَّدَادِ تَسْدِيدَ السَّبَّابَةِ السَّهْمَ ، وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَجْعَلَ خَاتَمِي فِي هَذِهِ ، وَأَوْمَأَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بِإِبْهَامِهِ إِلَى السَّبَّابَةِ أَوِ الْوُسْطَى - قَالَ عَاصِمٌ : فَأَنَا اشْتَبَهَ عَلَيَّ أَيَّتُهُمَا هِيَ - قَالَ : وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمِيثَرَةِ وَالْقَسِّيَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَأَمَّا الْمِيثَرَةُ فَشَيْءٌ كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ يَجْعَلُونَهُ عَلَى رِحَالِهِمْ ، وَأَمَّا الْقَسِّيَّةُ فَثِيَابُ الشَّامِ ، قِيلَ : شَامٌ أَوْ مِصْرُ ، مُضَلَّعَةٌ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ ، وَفِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْأُتْرُجِّ ، قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَا السَّبَنِيَّ عَرَفْنَا أَنْ هِيَ هِيَ .
Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I was sitting with my father when Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us concerning one of the affairs of the people. Then he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Make this supplication: 'Allahumma ihdini wa saddidni' (O Allah, grant me guidance and keep me firm upon what is right); and when asking for guidance, think of finding the right direction (of the road), and when asking for firmness and rightness, keep in mind the accuracy of an archer's aim. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from wearing a ring on this finger." (While saying this) Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) pointed with his thumb towards the index finger or the middle finger, and Asim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I am unsure which of the two fingers was meant. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also forbade the mithrah and the qassi (garments)." Then he explained: "As for the mithrah, it was a saddle-cover or cushion that women used to make for their husbands so that they could place it on the saddles of their mounts; and as for the qassi, it was striped cloth from Syria or Egypt in which silk was mixed, with designs on it like citrons (utrujj)." Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When we saw the cloth called 'sabani', we became certain that this was that forbidden garment.
