"عَنْ أَبِى عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِىِّ قَالَ: أَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَنَحْنُ بِأذربيجَانَ مَعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرقَدٍ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَأتَّزِرُوا وَارْتَدُوا وَانْتَعِلُوا وَارْمُوا بِالْخِفَافِ وَأَلْقُوا السَّرَاوِيلَاتِ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِلِبَاسِ أَبِيكُمْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالتَّنَعُّمَ وَزِىَّ الْعَجَمِ! وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالشَّمْسِ فَإِنَّهَا حَمَّامُ الْعَرَبِ، وتمعددوا وَاخْشَوْشَنُوا وَاخْلَوْلَقُوا وَاقْطَعُوا الرّكْبَ وَارْمُوا الأَغْرَاضَ، وَانْزُوا، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ إِلَّا هَكَذَا -وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ الوُسْطَى وَالسَّبَّابَةِ-".

"Abu 'Uthman al-Nahdi said: The letter of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came to us while we were in Adharbayjan with 'Utbah ibn Farqad: "To proceed: Gird yourselves, wear sandals, cast off the leggings and throw away the trousers. Stick to the dress of your father Isma'il. Beware of luxury and the dress of the non-Arabs! Take to the sun, for it is the bath of the Arabs. Be rough and coarse, wear the shoes of the Arabs, cut off the riding (ropes), shoot at the targets and jump. For the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade wearing silk except like this," and he pointed with his middle and index fingers."
