Musnad of Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 14594 — Musnad of Jabir ibn Abdullah
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْغَسِيلِ ، حَدَّثَنِي شُرَحْبِيلُ أَبُو سَعْدٍ ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي ، فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ، وَحَوْلَهُ ثِيَابٌ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، تُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَهَذِهِ ثِيَابُكَ إِلَى جَنْبِكَ ؟ ! قَالَ : أَرَدْتُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيَّ الْأَحْمَقُ مِثْلُكَ ، فَيَرَانِي أُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ، أَوَكَانَ لِكُلِّ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَوْبَانِ ؟ قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ جَابِرٌ يُحَدِّثُنَا ، فَقَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا مَا اتَّسَعَ الثَّوْبُ ، فَتَعَاطَفْ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْكَ ، ثُمَّ صَلِّ ، وَإِذَا ضَاقَ عَنْ ذَاكَ ، فَشُدَّ بِهِ حَقْوَيْكَ ، ثُمَّ صَلِّ مِنْ غَيْرِ رِدَاءٍ لَهُ " .
Shurahbil says: Once we went to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). He was praying wrapped in a single garment, although other clothes were lying near him. When he finished the prayer with salam, I said to him, "O Abdullah, may Allah forgive you, you are praying in a single garment while you have other clothes beside you." He replied, "I did this so that fools like you may see. Then he said, 'I am praying in a single garment—did the companions have two garments?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you stand for prayer and you have only one garment on your body, and it is wide, then wrap it well around yourself, and if it is tight, then make it a lower garment (tahband) and then pray."
