حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

أُهْدِيَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَرَقَةٌ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَتَدَاوَلُونَهَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَيَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا وَلِينِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهَا قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا

A piece of silken cloth was given to the Prophet ﷺ as a present and the people handed it over amongst themselves and were astonished at its beauty and softness. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you astonished at it?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the handkerchiefs of Saʿd in Paradise are better than it."
