وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ الْأَزْرَقُ، عَنْ أَبِي جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ:
شَكَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ؓ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَثْرَةَ الْقَمْلِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَلْبَسَ قَمِيصًا مِنْ حَرِيرٍ ؟ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ، فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ، وَقَامَ عُمَرُ ؓ. أَتَاهُ بِابْنِهِ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: مَا هَذَا ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ فِي جَيْبِ الْقَمِيصِ فَشَقَّهُ إِلَى أَسْفَلِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ؓ: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ أَحَلَّهُ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَحَلَّهُ لَكَ ; لِأَنَّكَ شَكَوْتَ الْقَمْلَ، فَأَمَّا غَيْرُكَ فَلَا

✧ 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf ؓ complained to the Prophet ﷺ about an abundance of lice, and said, "O Messenger of God, do you permit me to wear a shirt of silk?" He permitted him. When the Messenger of God ﷺ and Abu Bakr ؓ passed away and 'Umar ؓ became caliph, he ['Abd al-Rahman] came to him with his son and Abu Salama, wearing a shirt of silk. 'Umar ؓ said, "What is this?" Then he put his hand into the collar of the shirt and tore it down to its bottom. 'Abd al-Rahman ؓ said to him, "Do you not know that the Messenger of God ﷺ permitted it for me?" He said, "He only permitted it for you because you complained of lice. As for others, no."
