قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:
نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَاذَّةً هَيْئَتُهُمْ، فَقَالَ: مَا ضَرَّ رَجُلًا لَوِ اتَّخَذَ لِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ ثَوْبَيْنِ، فَلَمْ يَأْتِ الْجُمُعَةَ الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى قَدِمَتْ ثِيَابٌ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ غِلَاظٌ، فَذُو الثَّوْبَيْنِ وَالنَّمِرَةِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the people on Friday, their appearance being shabby, and said: 'What harm would it do a man to take two garments for this day?' The next Friday had not come before some coarse clothes arrived from Bahrain, [and he saw] the one with two garments and the striped cloak.
