Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ وَجَدَ عُمَرُ حُلَّةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ تُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ فَأَتَى بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ابْتَعْ هَذِهِ الْحُلَّةَ فَتَجَمَّلْ بِهَا لِلْعِيدِ وَلِلْوُفُودِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ لِبَاسُ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ، أَوْ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَبِثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِجُبَّةِ دِيبَاجٍ، فَأَقْبَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ حَتَّى أَتَى بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قُلْتَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ لِبَاسُ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ أَوْ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لا خَلاَقَ لَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَىَّ بِهَذِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ تَبِيعُهَا، أَوْ تُصِيبُ بِهَا بَعْضَ حَاجَتِكَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Yahya ibn Bukayr narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from ʿUqayl, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim ibn ʿAbd Allah, that Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: ʿUmar saw a brocade garment being sold in the market. He brought it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said, “Messenger of Allah, buy this garment and adorn yourself with it for the Eid and when receiving delegations.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “This is the clothing of one who has no share [in the Hereafter]”—or, “Only one who has no share [in the Hereafter] wears this.” Some time passed, then the Prophet (ﷺ) sent ʿUmar a brocade robe. ʿUmar brought it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said, “Messenger of Allah, you said, ‘This is the clothing of one who has no share [in the Hereafter]’”—or, “Only one who has no share [in the Hereafter] wears this”—“and then you sent this to me?” He said, “Sell it, or use it to meet some of your needs.”

Translation notes
  • The text itself gives two alternative phrasings of the statement about having no share; both are retained. The phrase concerning the Hereafter is implicit in the Arabic and made explicit by the English witness.
