Question

Please provide the original source, and comment on the authenticity of this narration.

Sulaym ibn ‘Aamir narrates that when winter would come, Sayyiduna ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) would be extra mindful of them and write to them, advising:

“Winter, which is an enemy, has come, so prepare for it with wool, leathers socks, and socks. Use wool as your under-clothing and outer-clothing, because the cold is an enemy that enters quickly but leaves slowly.”

 

Answer

Imam ‘Abdullah ibnul Mubarak (rahimahullah) has recorded this from reliable narrators.

(Refer: Lataiful Ma’arif, pg.564)

Hafiz Ibn Rajab (rahimahullah) writes:

“This was part of Sayyiduna ‘Umar’s (radiyallahu ‘anhu) well wishing, compassion and good regard for his subjects.”

(Lataiful Ma’arif, pg. 564)

التخريج من المصادر العربية

لطائف المعارف لابن رجب: (ص: ٥٦٤)
وروى ابن المبارك عن صفوان بن عمرو عن سليم بن عامر قال: كان عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه: «إذا حضر الشتاء تعاهدهم وكتب لهم بالوصية إن الشتاء قد حضر وهو عدو فتأهبوا له أهبته من الصوف والخفاف والجوارب واتخذوا الصوف شعارا ودثارا فإن البرد عدو سريع دخوله بعيد خروجه».

لطائف المعارف لابن رجب: (ص: ٥٦٤)
وإنما كان يكتب عمر إلى أهل الشام لما فتحت في زمنه فكان يخشى على من بها من الصحابة وغيرهم ممن لم يكن له عهد بالبرد أن يتأذى ببرد الشام وذلك من تمام نصيحته وحسن نظره وشفقته وحياطته لرعيته رضي الله عنه.
