"عن أبى أمامة قال: بينما عمر بن الخطابِ في أصحابِه إذ أُتِىَ بقميصِ كَرَابيسَ فلبسه، فما جاوزَ تراقِيه حتى قال: الحمدُ لله الذى كسانى ما أوارِى به عَوْرتى وأتجملُ به في حياتى، ثم أقبلَ على القومِ فقال: هل تدرون لم قلتُ هؤلاء الكلماتِ؟ قالوا: لا، إلا أن تُخبرنا، قَال: فإنى شهدت رسول الله ﷺ ذاتَ يومٍ وأُتى بثيابٍ له جُدُدٍ فلبسها ثم قال: (الحمد لله الذى كسانى ما أوارى به عورتى، وأتجملُ به في حياتى) ثم قال: (والذى بعثنى بالحقِّ! ما من عبدٍ مسلم كساه الله ثيابًا جددًا فعمدَ إلى سَمَلٍ من أخلاقِ ثيابه فكَساه عبدًا مسلمًا مسكينا لا يكسوه إلا لله، إلا كان في حِرْزِ الله، وفى جِوارِ الله وفى ضمان الله، ما كان عليه منها سِلكٌ، حيًا ومَيِّتا) قال: ثم مدَّكُمَّ قميصه فأبصر فيه فضلا عن أصابعه فقال لعبد الله: أى بنى هات الشَّفرةَ، فقام فجاء بها فمدكُمَّ قميصه على يده، فنظر ما فضل عن أصابِعه فقدَّه، قلنا: يا أمير المؤمنين! ألا نأتى بِخيّاط تَكُفُّ هذه؟ قال: لا، قال أبو أمامة: ولقد رأيت عمرَ بعد ذلك وإن هُدب ذلك القميص منتشرة على أصابعه مَا يَكُفُّه".

"From Abu Umamah, who said: While 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was among his companions, a shirt of kurabis cloth was brought to him. He put it on, and before it had reached his collarbones he said: 'All praise is due to Allah who has clothed me with what covers my nakedness and with which I adorn myself in my life.' Then he turned to the people and said: 'Do you know why I said these words?' They said: 'No, unless you tell us.' He said: 'I once saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a day when new garments were brought to him. He put them on and said: (All praise is due to Allah who has clothed me with what covers my nakedness, and with which I adorn myself in my life). Then he said: (By the One who sent me with the truth! No Muslim servant clothes a needy Muslim servant with a garment, seeking nothing but Allah's pleasure, from his old worn clothing, except that he is under the protection of Allah, in the safeguard of Allah, and in the guarantee of Allah, as long as a thread of it remains upon him, whether alive or dead).' He said: Then he stretched out his sleeve and saw that it extended beyond his fingers. He said to 'Abd Allah: 'My son, bring the razor.' He came with it, and he stretched his sleeve over his hand, looked at what extended beyond his fingers, and cut it off. We said: 'O Commander of the Believers, should we not bring a tailor to stitch this?' He said: 'No.' Abu Umamah said: I saw 'Umar after that, and the hem of that shirt was hanging loose over his fingers, and he did not stitch it."
