- ʿAbd Allah narrated—from his father—who said: Hushaym reported to us; Mansur informed us, on the authority of Qatadah, that ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab was once late in coming out to the people on a Friday. When he finally appeared, he apologized for the delay and said, “The only reason I was held back was that this garment of mine was being washed; I had no other garment but this one.”
٦٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أبِي، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ (رضي الله عنه) أَبْطَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَاعْتَذَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي احْتِبَاسِهِ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا حَبَسَنِي غَسْلُ ثَوْبِي هَذَا كَانَ يُغْسَلُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي ثَوْبٌ غَيْرُهُ»
