English narration
Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري
I went to Jabir bin `Abdullah and he was praying wrapped in a garment and his Rida was Lying beside him. When he finished the prayers, I said "O `Abdullah! You pray (in a single garment) while your Rida' is lying beside you." He replied, "Yes, I did it intentionally so that the ignorant ones like you might see me. I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) praying like this. "

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي الْمَوَالِي ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، قَالَ : "
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ مُلْتَحِفًا بِهِ وَرِدَاؤُهُ مَوْضُوعٌ ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قُلْنَا : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، تُصَلِّي وَرِدَاؤُكَ مَوْضُوعٌ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَرَانِي الْجُهَّالُ مِثْلُكُمْ ، رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي هَكَذَا
