Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ي��عْقُوبَ ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ وَهُوَ فِي مَسْجِدِ مِنًى فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ إِرْخَاءِ طَرَفِ الْعِمَامَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِعِلْمٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً وَأَمَّرَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ ؓ عَلَيْهَا وَعَقَدَ لَهُ لِوَاءً فَقَالَ خُذْهُ بِاسْمِ اللهِ وَبَرَكَتِهِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ وَعَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ؓ عِمَامَةٌ مِنْ كَرَابِيسَ مَصْبُوغَةٍ بِسَوَادٍ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَلَّ عِمَامَتَهُ ثُمَّ عَمَّمَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَأَفْضَلَ عِمَامَتَهُ مَوْضِعَ أَرْبَعِ أَصَابِعٍ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هكَذَا فَاعْتَمَّ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَحْسَنُ وَأَجْمَلُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ
English Translation
A man came to Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was in the mosque at Mina and asked him about letting the end of the turban hang down. Ibn Umar said: "I shall tell you about it with knowledge, if Allah wills. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent an expedition and appointed Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf as its commander, and tied a banner for him, saying: 'Take it in the name of Allah and with His blessing.' Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf was wearing a turban of dyed black cotton. The Messenger of Allah called him, unwound his turban, then wrapped it around his head with his own hands, leaving about four fingers' width hanging, and said: 'Wrap your turban like this, for it is better and more beautiful.'" Uthman ibn Ata' is not strong in narration.
