حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْدَى إِلَيْهِ رَاهِبٌ مِنَ الشَّامِ جُبَّةً مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ فَلَبِسَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْبَيْتَ فَوَضَعَهَا وَأُخْبِرَ بِوَفْدٍ يَأْتِيهِ فَأَمَرَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ الْجُبَّةَ لِقُدُومِ الْوَفْدِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: لَا يَصْلُحُ لَنَا لِبَاسُهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَيَصْلُحُ لَنَا لِبَاسُهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَلَكِنْ خُذْهَا يَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: أَتَكْرَهُهَا وَآخُذُهَا؟! فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: إِنِّي لَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تَلْبَسَهَا وَلَكِنْ تُرْسِلُ بِهَا إِلَى أَرْضِ فَارِسَ فَتُصِيبُ بِهَا مَالًا، فَأَبَى عُمَرُ، فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ، وَكَانَ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَى مَنْ فَرَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ.

✧ A monk from Syria sent the Messenger of God ﷺ a robe of fine silk as a gift, and the Prophet ﷺ put it on. Then he went to the House and took it off, and he was informed of a delegation coming to him. Umar b. al-Khattab ordered him to put on the robe for the arrival of the delegation. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Wearing it does not befit us in this world, but wearing it will befit us in the Hereafter. However, take it, O Umar.' He said: 'You dislike it and I should take it?!' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I am not commanding you to wear it, but send it to the land of Persia and obtain some wealth with it.' Umar refused, so the Prophet ﷺ sent it to the Negus, who had been kind to those of Muhammad's ﷺ companions who had fled to him.
