Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Ahmad ibn Hibatillah ibn Ahmad related to us; ʿAbd al-Muʿizz ibn Muhammad passed the report to us; Zahir ibn Tahir conveyed it to us; Abu Saʿd al-Kanjurūdhī conveyed it to us; Abu al-Ḥusayn al-Bahīrī narrated to us; Ibn Khuzayma narrated to us; ʿAli ibn Maʿbad narrated to us; Zayd ibn Yahya al-Dimashqī narrated to us; Mālik (ibn Anas) narrated, from Nāfiʿ, from Sālim, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ who said:

“Whoever lets his garment trail on the ground out of pride, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection.” (1)

This is a singular (gharīb) hadith through this route. Al-Nasaʾī also recorded it in his work “The Ḥadith of Mālik” through Zakariyyā Khayyāṭ al-Sunnah from ʿAli ibn Maʿbad, so our version reaches us with an isnād that is higher by two narrators.

263 – The Egyptian Judge, Abū al-Hasan ʿAli ibn al-Nuʿmān ibn Muḥammad al-Maghribī
A highly respected dignitary and a capable jurist, he delivered judgments according to the ʿUbaydī legal school, just as his father had done. He possessed keen understanding, numerous virtues, and mastery of many disciplines; he had a firm grasp of literature, grammar, poetry, and historical chronicles, all coupled with dignity, gravitas, calm, and composure. His poetic compositions were of high quality.

He continued to advance in the esteem of al-ʿAzīz in Egypt until he died in the month of Rajab, 374 AH, at the age of forty-five. After his death the office of chief judge passed to his brother Abū ʿAbd Allah, the son-in-law of the commander of commanders, Jawhar.

(1) The report is also found in al-Muwatta, 3/104 (with al-Suyuti’s commentary), through the chains of Nafi, Abd Allah ibn Dinar, and Zayd ibn Aslam, all three narrating from Ibn Umar in the wording: “Allah will not look, on the Day of Resurrection, at the one who trails his garment out of arrogance.” Via Malik’s transmission it is likewise recorded by al-Bukhari, 10/216 (Book of Dress, opening section); by Muslim, no. 2085 (Book of Dress, chapter: “The prohibition of trailing the garment out of arrogance”); and by al-Tirmidhi, no. 1730.
