Chapter 77: Dress
Narrated Sa 'id Al-Maqburi: 'Ubai bin Juraij said to 'Abdullah Ben 'Umar, "I see you doing four things which are not done by your
friends." Ibn 'Umar said, "What are they, O Ibn Juraij?" He said, "I see that you do not touch except
the two Yemenite corners of the Ka 'ba (while performing the Tawaf): and I see you wearing the
Sabtiyya shoes; and I see you dyeing (your hair) with Sufra; and I see that when you are in Mecca, the
people assume the state of Ihram on seeing the crescent (on the first day of Dhul-Hijja) while you do
not assume the state of Ihram till the Day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul Hijja)." 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said to
him, "As for the corners of the Ka 'ba, I have not seen Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) touching except the two
Yemenite corners, As for the Sabtiyya shoes, I saw Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) wearing leather shoes that had no
hair, and he used to perform the ablution while wearing them. Therefore, I like to wear such shoes. As
regards dyeing with Sufra, I saw Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) dyeing his hair with it, so I like to dye (my hair) with
it. As regards the crescent (of Dhul-Hijja), I have not seen Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) assuming the state of Ihram
till his she-camel set out (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijja).
