عَقْدِ الإِزَارِ عَلَى الْقَفَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ

Tying the waist-wrapper at the nape of the neck in prayer

صَلَّى جَابِرٌ فِي إِزَارٍ قَدْ عَقَدَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ قَفَاهُ، وَثِيَابُهُ مَوْضُوعَةٌ عَلَى الْمِشْجَبِ قَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ تُصَلِّي فِي إِزَارٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُ ذَلِكَ لِيَرَانِي أَحْمَقُ مِثْلُكَ، وَأَيُّنَا كَانَ لَهُ ثَوْبَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَاقِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir reported: Jabir prayed in a waist-wrapper which he had tied at the nape of his neck, while his clothes were lying on the clothes rack. Someone said to him, “You pray in a single waist-wrapper?” He said, “I only did that so that a fool like you would see me. Which of us had two garments in the time of the Prophet ﷺ?”

Translator’s note: Jabir wanted to show that praying in a single garment is permissible.

Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir berichtete: Dschabir betete in einem Hüftschurz, den er an seinem Nacken geknotet hatte, während seine Kleider auf dem Kleidergestell lagen. Jemand sagte zu ihm: „Du betest in einem einzigen Hüftschurz?“ Er sagte: „Ich habe das nur getan, damit mich ein Dummkopf wie du sieht. Wer von uns hatte denn zur Zeit des Propheten ﷺ zwei Gewänder?“

Translator’s note: Dschabir wollte zeigen, dass das Gebet in einem einzigen Gewand erlaubt ist.

Muhammed b. Münkedir şöyle rivayet etti: Câbir (r.a.), ense tarafından bağladığı bir izar içinde namaz kıldı; elbiseleri ise askılıkta duruyordu. Birisi ona: “Tek bir izar içinde mi namaz kılıyorsun?” dedi. Şöyle dedi: “Bunu ancak senin gibi bir ahmak beni görsün diye yaptım. Nebî ﷺ zamanında hangimizin iki elbisesi vardı ki?”

Translator’s note: Câbir, tek bir elbise içinde namaz kılmanın caiz olduğunu göstermek istemiştir.
