Sunan Ibn Majah 881 (Book 5, Hadith 79) #30233
Witnessing the Whiteness of Prophet Muhammad's Armpits

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who was with his father on the plain in Namirah when some riders passed by and made their camels kneel down. His father went to them and he followed, finding the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) there. He prayed with them and noticed the whiteness of the Prophet's armpits every time he prostrated.

It was narrated from ('Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah) bin Aqram Al-Khuza'i that his father said: "I was with my father on the plain in Namirah,* when some riders passed us and made their camels kneel down at the side of the road. My father said to me: 'Stay with your lambs until I go to those people and see what they want.’ He said: Then he (my father) went out and I came, (ie, I came near,) then there was the Messenger of Allah , and the time for prayer came so I prayed with them, and I was looking at the whiteness of the armpits of the Messenger of Allah every time he prostrated". Ibn Majah said: The people say 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah, but Abu Bakr bin Abu Shaibah said: "The people say 'Abdullah bin 'Ubaidullah". Muhammad bin Bashshar said: "'Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi, Safwan bin 'Eisa and Abu Dawud all said: 'Dawud bin Qais narrated to us, from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin Aqram, from his father, from the Prophet '." With similar wording.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بِالْقَاعِ مِنْ نَمِرَةَ فَمَرَّ بِنَا رَكْبٌ فَأَنَاخُوا بِنَاحِيَةِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي كُنْ فِي بَهْمِكَ حَتَّى آتِيَ هَؤُلاَءِ الْقَوْمَ فَأُسَائِلَهُمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ وَجِئْتُ - يَعْنِي دَنَوْتُ - فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَحَضَرْتُ الصَّلاَةَ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عُفْرَتَىْ إِبْطَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ‏.‏ ‏ قَالَ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ‏‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، وَصَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَقْرَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ نَحْوَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who was travelling with his father on a plain in Namirah when they saw some riders pass by and make their camels kneel down at the side of the road. His father went to see what they wanted while he stayed back with their lambs. When he came closer to them, he found that it was none other than Prophet Muhammad himself! He then joined them for prayer and noticed how white his armpits were every time he prostrated during prayer. This hadith teaches us that we should always be respectful towards our elders as well as those around us regardless of who they are or where they come from; it also reminds us to take part in prayer whenever we can so that we can benefit spiritually as well as physically. Additionally, this hadith shows us how important it is for Muslims to strive for purity both inside and out; even something like having white armpits can be seen as an indication of one’s spiritual purity!
