Arabic (Original)
قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : مَالِكٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَأَيْتُكَ تَصْنَعُ أَرْبَعًا لَمْ أَرَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ مَنْ يَصْنَعُهَا قَالَ مَا هُنَّ يَا ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُكَ لَا تَمَسُّ مِنْ الْأَرْكَانِ إِلَّا الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ وَرَأَيْتُكَ تَلْبَسُ النِّعَالَ السِّبْتِيَّةَ وَرَأَيْتُكَ تَصْبُغُ بِالصُّفْرَةِ وَرَأَيْتُكَ إِذَا كُنْتَ بِمَكَّةَ أَهَلَّ النَّاسُ إِذَا رَأَوْا الْهِلَالَ وَلَمْ تُهْلِلْ أَنْتَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَمَّا الْأَرْكَانُ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمَسُّ إِلَّا الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ وَأَمَّا النِّعَالُ السِّبْتِيَّةُ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَلْبَسُ النِّعَالَ الَّتِي لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَعَرٌ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ فِيهَا فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَلْبَسَهَا وَأَمَّا الصُّفْرَةُ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْبُغُ بِهَا فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَصْبُغَ بِهَا وَأَمَّا الْإِهْلَالُ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُهِلُّ حَتَّى تَنْبَعِثَ بِهِ نَاقَتُهُ.
English Translation
He said: I read to Abd al-Rahman: Malik said: Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Malik narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id al-Maqburi, from Ubayd ibn Jurayj, who said to Abdullah ibn Umar: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, I have seen you do four things which I have not seen any of your companions do." He said: "What are they, Ibn Jurayj?" He said: "I have seen you touch none of the corners of the Ka'bah except the two Yemeni corners; I have seen you wear tanned leather sandals; I have seen you dye with yellow; and I have seen that when you are in Makkah, the people enter ihram when they see the new moon, but you do not enter ihram until the Day of Tarwiyah." Abdullah said: "As for the corners, I never saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, touch any but the two Yemeni corners. As for the tanned leather sandals, I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, wear sandals that had no hair on them, and he would perform ablution wearing them, so I like to wear them. As for the yellow dye, I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, dye with it, so I like to dye with it. As for entering ihram, I never saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, enter ihram until his mount rose up with him."
