أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ خَرَجَ فَرَأَی حُلَّةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ تُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ فَأَتَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اشْتَرِهَا فَالْبَسْهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَحِينَ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْکَ الْوَفْدُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذَا مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثِ حُلَلٍ مِنْهَا فَکَسَا عُمَرَ حُلَّةً وَکَسَا عَلِيًّا حُلَّةً وَکَسَا أُسَامَةَ حُلَّةً فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ ثُمَّ بَعَثْتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ بِعْهَا وَاقْضِ بِهَا حَاجَتَکَ أَوْ شَقِّقْهَا خُمُرًا بَيْنَ نِسَائِکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5314
Ibn ‘Umar narrated that ‘Umar went out and saw a Hullah of Al-Istabraq being offered for sale in the marketplace. He went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, buy this and wear it on Fridays, and when the delegations come to you.” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “This is only worn by the one who has no share (in the Hereafter).” Then three Hullahs (of the same fabric) were brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he gave one to ‘Umar, one to ‘All and one to Usamah. He (‘Umar) came to him and said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, you said what you said about it, then you sent one to me!” He said: “Sell it and spend the money on your needs, or cut it into pieces for your womenfolk to use as head covers.” (Sahih)
