Dress

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umarthat Umar ibn al-Khattab saw a silk robe at the door of the mosque. Hesaid, "Messenger of Allah, would you buy this robe and wear it onjumua and when envoys come to you?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, said, "Only a person who has no portionin the next world wears this." Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, was brought some robes of the samematerial and gave Umar ibn al-Khattab one of the robes. Umar said,"Messenger of Allah, do you clothe me in it when you said what yousaid about the robe of Utarid?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, said, "I did not give it to you towear." Umar gave it to a brother of his in Makka who was still anidolater.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn AbiTalha said, "Anas ibn Malik said, 'I saw Umar ibn al-Khattab when hewas the amir of Madina. Three patches were sewn between his shoulders,one patched over the other.' ''
