the eighties—meaning, he had already reached that age—and perhaps some of the rulers of our own time combine all of these blameworthy traits.

I read to Abū al-Maʿālī Aḥmad ibn Isḥāq; al-Mubārak ibn Abī al-Jūd informed you; Aḥmad ibn Abī Ghālib the ascetic narrated to us; ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAlī narrated to us; Abū Ṭāhir al-Mukhlis narrated to us; ʿAbd Allāh al-Baghawī narrated to us; Dāwūd ibn Rushayd narrated to us; Abū Ismāʿīl the tutor narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Abū Hurayrah:
I said, “O Messenger of Allah, teach me something that will admit me to Paradise, and do not make it lengthy for me.”
He replied, “Do not become angry.” (1)

I read to Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad the ḥāfiẓ, along with a group, who said:
Abū al-Munajjā ibn al-Lattī informed us; and I read to al-Abraqūhī, Zakariyyā al-ʿUlabi informed us; they both said:
Abū al-Waqt al-Sijzī narrated to us; Bībā al-Harthamiyyah informed us; ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Shurayḥ informed us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad informed us; Dāwūd ibn Rushayd informed us; ʿUmar ibn Ayyūb informed us; Ibrāhīm ibn Nāfiʿ informed us, from Sulaymān al-Aḥwal, from Ṭāwūs, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, who said:
The Prophet ﷺ saw me wearing two garments dyed with ʿuṣfur and asked, “Did your mother order you to wear this?”
I said, “Shall I wash them?”
He replied, “Burn them.”
Muslim (2) recorded this through Dāwūd.

Here, “burn them” is a form of discretionary punishment (taʿzīr). It is likely that the dye could not be adequately removed by washing, as it ought to be, and garments colored with ʿuṣfur are permitted only for women.
