Sunan an-Nasai 1560 (Book 19, Hadith 5) #16171
Practicality Over Luxury

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against wearing luxurious clothing and instead encouraged the use of money for more practical needs.

It was narrated from Salim that: His father said: "Umar bin A-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, found a Hullah of Istibraq in the market. He took it and brought it to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'O Messenger of Allah , why don't you buy this and adorn yourself with it for the two 'Eids and when (meeting) the delegations?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'This is the clothing of one who has no share in the Hereafter,' or: 'This is worn by one who has no share in the Hereafter'. Then as much time passed as Allah (SWT) willed, then the Messenger of Allah sent to Umar a garment made of Dibaj. He brought it to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you said that this is the clothing of one who has no share in the Hereafter, then you sent this to me?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Sell it and use the money for whatever you need'."
أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ وَجَدَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ - رضى الله تعالى عنه - حُلَّةً مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ بِالسُّوقِ فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَتَى بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْتَعْ هَذِهِ فَتَجَمَّلْ بِهَا لِلْعِيدِ وَالْوَفْدِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ لِبَاسُ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ أَوْ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَبِثَ عُمَرُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِجُبَّةِ دِيبَاجٍ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهَا حَتَّى جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْتَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ لِبَاسُ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَىَّ بِهَذِهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ بِعْهَا وَتُصِبْ بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of practicality over luxury. It was narrated from Salim that his father said that Umar bin A-Khattab found a Hullah of Istibraq in the market and brought it to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He asked why he didn't buy it to adorn himself with it for two Eids and when meeting delegations. The Prophet Muhammad replied that this is worn by one who has no share in the Hereafter. Later on, he sent Umar a garment made of Dibaj which prompted him to ask why he sent him something after saying what he did earlier. The Prophet Muhammad then told him to sell it and use the money for whatever he needed. This hadith teaches us that we should not be too focused on luxury but rather focus on practical needs as they are more important than anything else in life. We should also be mindful about how we spend our money as spending too much on luxuries can lead us away from our ultimate goal - Jannah or Paradise in afterlife.
