1164 — Qutaybah ibn Sa‘īd narrated to us, saying: ‘Abd al-‘Azīz narrated to us, from ‘Umārah ibn Ghaziyyah, from ‘Abbād ibn Tamīm.

============================================
= For his shaykh, ‘Abd Allāh ibn Sālim, [this was] with ‘Amr ibn al-Ḥārith. Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in *al-Thiqāt* and said: “He is sound in hadith.” And he has been followed up [by other narrators].

Al-Bayhaqī also transmitted it, 3/350, via the route of Abū Dāwūd al-Sijistānī, with this same chain of transmission.

Al-Bukhārī transmitted after (1027), and Ibn Mājah after (1267/m), via the route of Sufyān ibn ‘Uyaynah, who said: al-Mas‘ūdī informed me, from Abū Bakr — who is Ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Amr ibn Ḥazm — who said: “He placed the right [side] over the left.” Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in *al-Fatḥ*, 2/515: “It is connected to the first chain of transmission.” Then he said: “It is from ‘Abbād ibn Tamīm, from his paternal uncle.” We say: confirming the soundness of al-Ḥāfiẓ’s statement is what al-Ṭaḥāwī narrated in *Sharḥ Ma‘ānī al-Āthār*, 1/323, via the route of ‘Abd Allāh ibn Rajā’, from al-Mas‘ūdī, from Abū Bakr ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Amr ibn Ḥazm, from ‘Abbād ibn Tamīm, from his paternal uncle, who said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out and prayed for rain, then he turned his cloak around.” He said: I said: “Did he place the upper over the lower and the lower over the upper?” He said: “No, rather he placed the left over the right and the right over the left.” And ‘Abd Allāh ibn Rajā’ is among those who heard from al-Mas‘ūdī — who is ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Utbah ibn ‘Abd Allāh ibn Mas‘ūd — before his confusion [in old age].

Also attesting to the soundness of this narration is what Aḥmad transmitted (16462), in addition to the hadith that follows it in the author’s [collection], after his statement: “And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wanted to take its lower part and make it its upper part, but when it became heavy, he turned it over his shoulder.” He added: “The right over the left and the left over the right.” And its chain of transmission is strong.

And the hadith of Abū Hurayrah in Ibn Mājah (1268) contains: “Then he turned his cloak around and placed the right over the left and the left over the right.” And its chain of transmission is weak.

Ibn Isḥāq added, in his narration from ‘Abd Allāh ibn Abī Bakr, from ‘Abbād ibn Tamīm, from his paternal uncle, another description of the garment that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wore, namely that he turned it inside out — its outer side to its inner side. Aḥmad transmitted it (16465) with a sound chain, and Ibn Isḥāq explicitly stated therein that he heard it, thus removing any suspicion of his tadlīs [concealed transmission].

It is thereby established that he ﷺ turned his cloak inside out, then wore it placing the left over the right and the right over the left. And Allāh the Exalted knows best. This is the view of Imām al-Shāfi‘ī in *al-Umm*.

And see what follows it, and what has preceded under number (1161).
