1734. Ibn Mas'ūd narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "On the day that His Lord spoke to him, Mūsā was wearing a wool Kisā', a wool Jubbah,[1] a wool Kummah, wool pants, and his sandals were made of the skin of a dead donkey."(Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except from the narration of Humaid Al-A'raj. And Humaid - Ibn 'Ali Al-A'raj - [I heard Muhammad saying: "Humaid bin 'Ali Al-A'raj] is Munkar in Hadīth."] While Humaid bin Qais Al-A'raj Al-Makki, the companion of Mujāhid is trustworthy. The Kummah is a small cap.

Arabic text

١٧٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ، عَنْ ‌حُمَيْدٍ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كَانَ عَلَى مُوسَى» يَوْمَ كَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ كِسَاءُ صُوفٍ وَجُبَّةُ صُوفٍ، وَكُمَّةُ صُوفٍ، وَسَرَاوِيلُ صُوفٍ، وَكَانَتْ نَعْلَاهُ مِنْ جِلْدِ حِمَارٍ مَيِّتٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ حُمَيْدٍ الْأَعْرَجِ. وَحُمَيْدٌ هُوَ: ابْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيُّ، مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ، وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْأَعْرَجُ الْمَكِّيُّ صَاحِبُ مُجَاهِدٍ ثِقَةٌ. وَالْكُمَّةُ الْقَلَنْسُوَةُ الصَّغِيرَةُ.

Commentary

There is no harm in wearing the wool as such. However if, as pointed out by Imām Mālik, the idea is to make a show of ones abstinence and austerity before the people, it is by no means a praiseworthy act.
