مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4978
Saalim said: I heard 'Abdullah ibn TJmar say: 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab brought a suit of striped silk to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: O Messenger of Allah, why don't you buy this suit and wear it when the delegations of the people come to you? He said: "This is only worn by one who Has no share in the Hereafter.” Then three suits (like it) were brought to the Prophet (PBUH) and he sent one to 'Umar, one to Ali and one to Usaamah ibn Zayd. 'Umar brought his suit to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: O Messenger of Allah, did you sen this to me when you said: what you said about it? He said: I only sent it to you to sell it or cut it up to make head covers for your family." Ishaaq said in his hadeeth: Usaamah came to him wearing the suit and he said: "I did not send it to you for you to wear it; rather I sent it to you for you to sell it." I do not know whether he said to Usaamah, "Cut it up to make headcovers" or not.
