Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 349
حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ: وَجَدَ عُمَرُ حُلَّةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ، فَأَتَى بِهَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: اشْتَرِ هَذِهِ، وَالْبَسْهَا عِنْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ، أَوْ حِينَ تَقْدِمُ عَلَيْكَ الْوُفُودُ، فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ: إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُهَا مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِحُلَلٍ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِحُلَّةٍ، وَإِلَى أُسَامَةَ بِحُلَّةٍ، وَإِلَى عَلِيٍّ بِحُلَّةٍ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرْسَلْتَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: تَبِيعُهَا، أَوْ تَقْضِي بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ.

‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar reported that his father, ‘Umar, found a brocade robe and brought it to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), saying, ‘Buy this and wear it on Friday or when delegations come to you.’ He replied, ‘Only someone with no share in the Hereafter wears it.’ Later, some robes were brought to the Messenger of Allah, and he sent one to ‘Umar, one to Usama, and one to ‘Ali. ‘Umar said, ‘Messenger of Allah, you sent this to me, though I heard you say what you said about it.’ The Prophet replied, ‘You can sell it or use it to meet your needs.’

The source calls the robe حُلَّةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ, a garment of brocade, and preserves the Prophet’s later direction that ‘Umar may sell it or use it to meet a need.
