Hadith 4166
وَعَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
" مَنْ تَرَكَ لُبْسَ ثوبِ جمالٍ وَهُوَ يقدرُ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي رَاوِيه: تَوَاضُعًا كَسَاهُ اللَّهُ حُلَّةَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَمَنْ تَزَوَّجَ لِلَّهِ تَوَجَّهُ اللَّهُ تَاجَ الْمُلْكِ ". رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
وَرَوَى التِّرْمِذِيُّ مِنْهُ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ حَدِيث اللبَاس
Suwaid b. Wahb quoted a son of a Companion of God’s messenger who said his father reported God’s messenger as saying, “He who gives up wearing beautiful garments when he is able to do so (out of humility, as is stated in a version) will be clothed by God with the robe of honour, and he who marries for God's sake will be crowned by God with the crown of the kingdom.”
Abu Dawud transmitted it, and Tirmidhi transmitted the tradition about the clothing on Suwaid’s authority on the authority of Mu'adh b. Anas.

وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُرَى أَثَرَ نِعْمَتِهِ على عَبده» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
‘ Amr b. Shu'aib, on his father’s authority, told that his grandfather reported God’s messenger as saying, “God likes the mark of His favour to be seen on his servant.” (People whom God has prospered should wear clothes suitable for their station, for the poor may recognise them as people able to give charity. The learned should not conceal their learning, so that others may benefit from it)
Tirmidhi transmitted it.
