حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عَمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَأَى حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ هذِهِ فَلَبِسْتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا ⦗٣٣⦘ قَدِمُوا عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هذِهِ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِثُمَّ جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، مِنْهَا حُلَلٌ فَأَعْطَى عُمَرَ ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنها مِنْهَا حُلَّةً فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَسَوْتَنِيَهَا، وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِي حُلَّةِ عُطَارِدٍ مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا فَكَسَاهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنها، أَخًا لَهُ، بِمَكَّةَ، مُشْرِكًا.
`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:
‘Umar bin Al-Khattâb رضي الله عنه saw a silken cloak (being sold) at the gate of the mosque and said to Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, “I wish you would buy this to wear on Fridays and also on occasions of the arrivals of the delegations.” Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, “This will be worn by a person who will have no share (reward) in the Hereafter.”Later on similar cloaks were given to Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and he gave one of them to ‘Umar bin Al-Khattâb رضي الله عنه. On that ‘Umar said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! You have given me this cloak although on the cloak of ‘Utârid (a cloak merchant who was selling that silken cloak at the gate of the mosque) you passed such and such a remark." Allâh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "I have not given you this to wear." And so 'Umar bin Al-Khattâb رضي الله عنه gave it to his pagan brother in Makka to wear. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 11, Vol. 2)
