حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ مَلِكَ الرُّومِ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُسْتَقَةً مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ، فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يَدَيْهَا تَذَبْذَبَانِ مِنْ طُولِهِمَا، فَجَعَلَ الْقَوْمُ يَلْتَمِسُونَهَا وَيَقُولُونَ: أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذِهِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا يُعْجِبُكُمْ مِنْهَا ؟ ! وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَمِنْدِيلٌ مِنْ مَنَادِيلِ سَعْدِ [بْنِ مُعَاذٍ] فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: فَلَبِسَهَا جَعْفَرٌ ثُمَّ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنِّي لَمْ أَبْعَثْ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَلْبَسَهَا، قَالَ: فَمَا أَصْنَعُ بِهَا ؟ قَالَ: ابْعَثْ بِهَا إِلَى أَخِيكَ النَّجَاشِيِّ

✧ The king of Byzantium sent the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a fur cloak of fine silk, and it was as if I were looking at its sleeves fluttering from their length. The people began to examine it and say: Was this sent down upon you, O Messenger of Allah, from the sky? He said: And what impresses you about it? By the One in Whose hand is my soul, a handkerchief from the handkerchiefs of Sa'd b. Mu'adh in Paradise is better than this. Then he sent it to Ja'far. He said: So Ja'far wore it and then came. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I did not send it to you for you to wear it. He said: Then what should I do with it? He said: Send it to your brother the Negus.
