'Abdullah, the client of Asma', said, "Asma' brought out to me a cloak of Tayalisah (a type of mantle) which had a collar border a span (wide) of brocade and verily it's two openings were hemmed with it (i.e. brocade). She said,
'This is the of the cloak of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He used to wear it for delegations and on Jumu'a.' "
'Abdulkarim Abu Umuyyah came to Abu Al'aliyah and on him were wool clothes. So Abu Al'aliyah said "These are but the clothes of monks, as the Muslims, when visiting each other, would beautify themselves."
حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ: وَجَدَ عُمَرُ حُلَّةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ، فَأَتَى بِهَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: اشْتَرِ هَذِهِ، وَالْبَسْهَا عِنْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ، أَوْ حِينَ تَقْدِمُ عَلَيْكَ الْوُفُودُ، فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ: إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُهَا مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِحُلَلٍ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِحُلَّةٍ، وَإِلَى أُسَامَةَ بِحُلَّةٍ، وَإِلَى عَلِيٍّ بِحُلَّةٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرْسَلْتَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: تَبِيعُهَا، أَوْ تَقْضِي بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ.
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "'Umar found a silk robe and brought
it to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Buy
this and wear it on Jumu'ah and when delegations come to you.' The Prophet,
peace be upon him, replied, 'Only someone who has no portion in the Next
World wears this.' Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, was brought some robes and sent one robe to 'Umar, one
to Usama, and one to 'Ali. 'Umar said, 'Messenger of Allah! You have sent
this to me when I heard you say what you said about it.' The Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'You can sell it or take care
of your needs with it.'"
Anas ibn Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, visited one of the houses of the Ansar and
ate some food with them. When he left, he asked for a place in the house
and some water was sprinkled on a carpet for him. He prayed on it and made
supplication for them.
