Sahūl is a village in Yemen, and “kursuf” means cotton.
791 – ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: One morning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out wearing a mirṭ murḥal woven from black hair. Narrated by Muslim.
A “mirṭ,” with a kasrah on the mīm, is a cloak; and “murḥal,” with an undotted ḥāʾ, is the one decorated with figures of camel saddles, i.e., the saddle-pads (akwār) (1).
792 – Al-Mughīrah ibn Shuʿbah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night on a journey when he said, “Do you have any water?” I replied, “Yes.” He dismounted from his mount and walked on until he disappeared (2) into the darkness of the night. Then he returned, and I poured water on him from a water-skin. He washed his face while he was wearing a woollen jubba; he could not bring his forearms out of it, so he put them out from beneath the jubba, washed his arms, and wiped over his head. I then reached out (3) to remove his leather socks, but he said, “Leave them, for I put them on in a state of purity,” and he wiped over them. Agreed upon.
In another wording: He was wearing a Syrian jubba with narrow sleeves.
Another narration states that this incident occurred during the Tabūk campaign.
