حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ دِحْيَةَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ الْکَلْبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَبَاطِيَّ فَأَعْطَانِي مِنْهَا قُبْطِيَّةً فَقَالَ اصْدَعْهَا صَدْعَيْنِ فَاقْطَعْ أَحَدَهُمَا قَمِيصًا وَأَعْطِ الْآخَرَ امْرَأَتَکَ تَخْتَمِرُ بِهِ فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ وَأْمُرْ امْرَأَتَکَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ تَحْتَهُ ثَوْبًا لَا يَصِفُهَا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد رَوَاهُ يَحْيَی بْنُ أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4116
Narrated Dihyah ibn Khalifah al-Kalbi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought some pieces of fine Egyptian linen and he gave me one and said: Divide it into two; cut one of the pieces into a shirt and give the other to your wife for veil. Then when he turned away, he said: And order your wife to wear a garment below it and not show her figure. Abu Dawud said: Yahya bin Ayyub transmitted it and said: Abbas bin Ubaid Allah bin Abbas
