وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي فَاخِتَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ هَانِئٍ ؓ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُهْدِيَ لَهُ حُلَّةُ حَرِيرٍ سِيَرَاءُ، فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ؓ، فَرَاحَ وَهِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ: إِنِّي لَا أَرْضَى لَكَ إِلَّا مَا أَرْضَى لِنَفْسِي، إِنِّي لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا، إِنِّي كَسَوْتُهَا لِتَجْعَلَهَا خُمُرًا بَيْنَ الْفَوَاطِمِ

✧ A striped silk garment was gifted to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he sent it to 'Ali ؓ. He went out wearing it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to 'Ali ؓ: "I am not pleased for you except with what I am pleased for myself. I did not clothe you with it to wear it; I clothed you with it so that you could make it into head covers among the Fatimahs."
