Volume 7, Book 72, Number 742:
Narrated Said Al-Maqburi:
‘Ubai bin Juraij said to ‘Abdullah Ben ‘Umar, “I see you doing four things which are not done by
your friends.” Ibn ‘Umar said, “What are they, O Ibn Juraij?” He said, “I see that you do not touch ex –
cept the two Yemenite corners of the Ka’ba (while performing the Tawaf): and I see you wearing the
Sabtiyya shoes; and I see you dyeing (your hair) with Sufra; and I see that when you are in Mecca,
the people assume the state of Ihram on seeing the crescent (on the first day of Dhul-Hijja) while you
do not assume the state of Ihram till the Day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul Hijja).” ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said
to him, “As for the corners of the Ka’ba, I have not seen Allah’s Apostle touching except the two Ye –
menite corners, As for the Sabtiyya shoes, I saw Allah’s Apostle wearing leather shoes that had no
hair, and he used to perform the ablution while wearing them. Therefore, I like to wear such shoes.
As regards dyeing with Sufra, I saw Allah’s Apostle dyeing his hair with it, so I like to dye (my hair)
with it. As regards the crescent (of Dhul-Hijja), I have not seen Allah’s Apostle assuming the state of
Ihram till his she-camel set out (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijja).”
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 396:
Narrated Said Al-Maqburi:
That his father said, “While we were accompanying a funeral procession, Abu Huraira got hold of
the hand of Marwan and they sat down before the coffin was put down. Then Abu Said came and
took hold of Marwan’s hand and said, “Get up. By Allah, no doubt this (i.e. Abu Huraira) knows that
the Prophet forbade us to do that.” Abu Huraira said, “He (Abu Said) has spoken the truth.”
