Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي مَطَرٍ قَالَ: إِنْ عَلِيًّا اشْتَرَى ثَوْبًا بِثَلَاثَةِ دَرَاهِمَ فَلَمَّا لَبِسَهُ قَالَ: «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي مِنَ الرِّيَاشِ مَا أَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي الناسِ وأُواري بِهِ عورتي» ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُول. رَوَاهُ أَحْمد

Abu Matar reported: Ali bought a garment for three dirhams. When he put it on, he said, “Praise belongs to Allah, who provided me with adornment with which I may look presentable among people and cover my nakedness.” Then he said, “This is how I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say it.” Ahmad transmitted it.
