The Shaykh : Abdullah.
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muslimah narrated to us, from Malik, from Sa'id al-Maqburi, from 'Ubayd ibn Jarij: that he said to Abdullah ibn 'Umar, (may Allah be pleased with them both):
I have seen you doing four things which I have never seen any of your companions doing." He said, "What are they, Ibn Jurayj?" and he replied, "I have seen you touching only the twoYamani corners, I have seen you wearing hairless sandals, I have seen you using yellow dye, and, when you were at Makka and everybody had started doing talbiya after seeing the new moon, I saw that you did not do so until the eighth of Dhu'l-Hijja." Abdullah ibn Umar replied, "As for the corners, I only ever saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, touching the two Yamani corners. As for the sandals, I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wearing hairless sandals and doing wudu in them, and I like wearing them. As for using yellow dye, I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, using it, and I also like to use it for dyeing things with. As for doing talbiya, I never saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, begin doing so until he had set out on the animal he was riding on (i.e. for Mina and Arafa)."
رأيتك تصنع أربعا لم أرى أحدا من أصحابك يصنعها، قال: ما هي يا ابن جريج؟ قال: رأيتك لا تمس من الأركان إلا اليمانيين، ورأيتك تلبس النعال السبتية، ورأيتك تصبغ بالصفرة، ورأيتك إذا كنت بمكة، أهل الناس إذا رأوا الهلال، ولم تهل أنت حتى كان يوم التروية. فقال له عبد الله بن عمر: أما الأركان فإني لم أرى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم يمس إلا اليمانيين، وأما النعال السبتية فإني رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم يلبس النعال التي ليس فيها شعر ويتوضأ فيها، فأنا أحب أن ألبسها، وأما الصفرة: فإني رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم يصبغ بها، فأنا أحب أن أصبغ بها، وأما الإهلال: فإني لم أرى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم يهل حتى تنبعث به راحلته .
