1782. Abū Sa’eed – who is ‘Abdullāh bin Busr – said: “I heard Abū Kabshah Al-Anmārī saying: ‘The Kimām (caps) of the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ were Buṭhan (stretched over the head).” (Da’if) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Munkar, ‘Abdullāh bin Busr is from Al-Baṣrah, and he is weak according to the people of Hadīth. Yahya bin Sa’eed and others graded him weak. Buṭhun means expansive.
١٧٨٢ - حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُسْرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا كَبْشَةَ الْأَنْمَارِيَّ يَقُولُ: «كَانَتْ كِمَامُ» أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بُطْحًا هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُسْرٍ بَصْرِيٌّ، هُوَ ضَعِيفٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ، ضَعَّفَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَغَيْرُهُ. وَبُطْحٌ: يَعْنِي وَاسِعَةً.

If Kimām is the plural of Kum, then it means sleeves, and the Hadīth shall mean that their sleeves were wide and spacious. If it be the plural of Kam, it would mean the cap, and the idea would be that their caps were clinging to their heads. Buṭh means stretched. Thus, the meaning would be that their caps clung to their heads, and were not elevated.
