حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرَقَةٌ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ فَجَعَلَ الْقَوْمُ يَتَدَاوَلُونَهَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ هَذَا فَقَالُوا لَهُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 157
it was nanated that Barâ’ bin ‘Azib said: “The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H was given a gift of a length of silk fabric. The people started passing it around to one another. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Are you admiring this?’ They said: ‘Yes, 0 Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! The handkerchief of Sa’d bin Mu’ âdh in Paradise is better than this.’” (Sahih)
