- ʿAbdullāh narrated to us; my father related to me; Yazīd narrated to us; Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from al-Jurayrī, from Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī:
ʿUmar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) once saw ʿUtbah ibn Farqad wearing a shirt whose sleeves reached past his fingertips. He called for a blade so that he might cut the excess from their ends. ʿUtbah implored, “O Commander of the Believers, I am embarrassed for it to be cut; let me shorten it myself.” So ʿUmar left the matter to him.
٦٥٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أبِي، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ (رضي الله عنه) رَأَى عَلَى عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَمِيصًا طَوِيلَ الْكُمِّ فَدَعَا بِشَفْرَةٍ لِيَقْطَعَهُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ أَصَابِعِهِ، فَقَالَ عُتْبَةُ: «يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنِّي أَسْتَحِي أَنْ يُقْطَعَ أَقْطَعُهُ فَتَرَكَهُ»
