Arabic text

3348 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، وَكَانَ يُعَدُّ مِنَ الْأَبْدَالِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ نُوحِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: لَبِسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصُّوفَ، وَاحْتَذَى الْمَخْصُوفَ " وَقَالَ: «أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَشِعًا، وَلَبِسَ خَشِنًا» ، فَقِيلَ لِلْحَسَنِ، مَا الْبَشِعُ قَالَ: «غَلِيظُ الشَّعِيرِ، مَا كَانَ يُسِيغُهُ، إِلَّا بِجُرْعَةِ مَاءٍ»

Commentary

In the era of the Companions and their Followers, woolen clothes were considered the cheapest and the lowest, while cotton clothes were considered nice and expensive. Similarly, the bread of wheat was used only by those who were interested in the luxurious life. Common people used to eat the bread of barley.
