In (Book 1, Hadith 406), the story of the man in Dhil-Majaz is narrated without the specific, problematic wording about the "worn out sheets" and the direct line from Dhu al-‘Ushairah. Because Abu Dawood 4131 contains extra wording that is not supported by stronger chains, it is classified as Shadh (anomalous/irregular).
Forbidden for men, with exceptions for medical necessity.
The narrative begins with Al-Miqdam visiting Mu'awiyah in Syria. After learning of the death of Al-Hasan ibn Ali, Al-Miqdam boldly challenges the Caliph, stating he intends to make him "angry" by speaking the truth. He lists three specific prohibitions that he had witnessed being neglected in the Caliph’s court: Wearing Gold: Forbidden for Muslim men. Wearing Silk: Restricted to women, with minor exceptions for men. Leopard/Predator Skins:
