are named after Sahūl, a village in Yemen, and al-kursuf means cotton.

787 – ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “One morning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out wearing a marṭ marḥal whose wool was black.” Muslim recorded it. A marṭ (with a kasrah on the mīm) is a cloak, while marḥal (with an un-dotted ḥāʾ) refers to one that bears designs of camel saddlebags – the packs that sit atop the animals.

788 – Al-Mughīrah ibn Shuʿbah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: “I was travelling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night when he asked me, ‘Do you have any water?’ I replied, ‘Yes.’ He dismounted, walked on until he disappeared into the darkness, then returned. I poured water on him from a waterskin; he washed his face while wearing a woollen jubba. Because the sleeves were narrow he could not pull his forearms out, so he slipped them out from beneath the jubba, washed his arms, and wiped his head. I reached to remove his leather socks, but he said, ‘Leave them; I put them on while my feet were pure,’ and he wiped over them.” Agreed upon. One version adds: “He was wearing a Syrian jubba with tight sleeves,” and another states that the incident took place during the expedition of Tabūk.
