Musnad Ahmad #92
Musnad `Umar b. al-Khattab (ra)
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي عَنْهُ، نَافِعٌ مَوْلَاهُ قَالَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلرَّجُلِ إِلَّا ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ فَلْيَأْتَزِرْ بِهِ ثُمَّ لِيُصَلِّ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَيَقُولُ لَا تَلْتَحِفُوا بِالثَّوْبِ إِذَا كَانَ وَحْدَهُ كَمَا تَفْعَلُ الْيَهُودُ قَالَ نَافِعٌ وَلَوْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ أَسْنَدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ كَذَبْتُ.
Abdullah bin 'Umar used to say: If a man has only one garment, let him wrap it around his waist and then pray, for I heard 'Umar bin al-Khattab say that, and he said: Do not wrap it around the whole body if it is only one garment, as the Jews do. Nati' said: If I tell you that he attributed that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I hope that I would not be lying.
