Is this Hadith reliable?
Al Mughirah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported, “Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) wore a Roman coat (jubbah) with tight sleeves”
Answer:
Imam Tirmidhi, Imam Ahmad (rahimahumallah) and other Muhaddithun have recorded these words. Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic (hasanun sahih).
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1768 and Musnad Ahmad, vol. 4 pg. 255)
Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim (rahimahumallah) have recorded slightly different words.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 363, Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 274. Also see: Tuhfatul Ahwadhi, Hadith: 1768)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
