حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ جُرَيْجٍ أَوْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ أَرْبَعُ خِلَالٍ رَأَيْتُكَ تَصْنَعُهُنَّ لَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا يَصْنَعُهُنَّ قَالَ مَا هِيَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُكَ تَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ النِّعَالَ السِّبْتِيَّةَ وَرَأَيْتُكَ تَسْتَلِمُ هَذَيْنِ الرُّكْنَيْنِ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ لَا تَسْتَلِمُ غَيْرَهُمَا وَرَأَيْتُكَ لَا تُهِلُّ حَتَّى تَضَعَ رِجْلَكَ فِي الْغَرْزِ وَرَأَيْتُكَ تُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَكَ قَالَ أَمَّا لُبْسِي هَذِهِ النِّعَالَ السِّبْتِيَّةَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَلْبَسُهَا يَتَوَضَّأُ فِيهَا وَيَسْتَحِبُّهَا وَأَمَّا اسْتِلَامُ هَذَيْنِ الرُّكْنَيْنِ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَلِمُهُمَا لَا يَسْتَلِمُ غَيْرَهُمَا وَأَمَّا تَصْفِيرِي لِحْيَتِي فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَفِّرُ لِحْيَتَهُ وَأَمَّا إِهْلَالِي إِذَا اسْتَوَتْ بِي رَاحِلَتِي فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ وَاسْتَوَتْ بِهِ رَاحِلَتُهُ أَهَلَّ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4672
It was narrated that Jurayi or Ibn Jurayj said: I said to Ibn 'Umar: Four things I have Seen you do and i have not seen anyone else doing them. He said: What axe they? He said: I saw you wearing sandals of tanned leather, and I saw you touching these two Yemeni comers (of the Ka'bah) and no others, and I saw you not starting to recite the Talbiyah (after entering ihram) until you put your foot in the stirrup, and I saw you dyeing your beard with henna He said: As for my wearing these sandals of leather, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to wear them and do wudoo' in them, and he liked them. As for touching these two comers, I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) touch them, and he did not touch any others. As for my dying nay beard with henna, I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) his beard with henna As for not starting to recite the Talbiyah (after entering ihram) until my mount rose up with me, I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) when he put his foot in the stirrup and his mount rose up with him, then he started to recite the Talbiyah.
