Sahih Muslim 2469a (Book 44, Hadith 181) #13432
The Superiority of Paradise Garments

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was presented with a garment of sundus and he prohibited the use of silk. He then said that the kerchiefs of Sa'd b. Mu'adh in Paradise are better than this.

Anas b Malik reported that Allah's Messenger was presented a garment of sundus and he prohibited the use of silk. The persons admired it, whereupon he said: By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the kerchiefs of Sa'd b. Mu'adh in Paradise are better than this.
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ جُبَّةٌ مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ مَنَادِيلَ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the superiority of garments found in paradise compared to those found on earth. The Prophet Muhammad was presented with a garment made from sundus and he prohibited its use due to its material being silk. He then said that the kerchiefs of Sa'd b. Mu'adh in paradise were better than this one on earth. This hadith teaches us that we should not be too attached to worldly possessions as they will not compare to what Allah has prepared for us in paradise if we strive for it through good deeds and faithfulness towards Him. We should also be mindful about our clothing choices as some materials may be forbidden or discouraged by Islamic teachings such as silk which is why it was prohibited by the Prophet Muhammad himself here in this hadith.
