Sahih Muslim 2075a (Book 37, Hadith 42) #12527
Luxurious Clothing and God-Fearing People

SUMMARY: It is not appropriate for God-fearing people to wear luxurious clothing.

Uqba b'.Amir said: A silk gown was presented to Allah's Messenger and he wore it and observed prayer in it and then returned and put it off so violently as if he despised it. He then said: It does not befit the Godfearing persons.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَرُّوجُ حَرِيرٍ فَلَبِسَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فِيهِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَنَزَعَهُ نَزْعًا شَدِيدًا كَالْكَارِهِ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَنْبَغِي هَذَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be modest in dress and behavior even if you have access to luxury items or expensive clothing .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of modesty in dress and behavior for those who fear Allah. The Prophet Muhammad was presented with a silk gown, but he rejected it because it was too luxurious and did not befit someone who fears God. He showed his disapproval by taking off the garment quickly, as if he despised it. This hadith teaches us that we should be modest in our dress and behavior, even if we have access to luxury items or expensive clothing. We should remember that our actions reflect our faith in God, so we must always strive to act with respect and humility when dealing with others or wearing clothes that are appropriate for a person who fears Him.
