Sunan Abi Dawud 915 (Book 2, Hadith 526) #21207
Comparing Cloth Quality

SUMMARY: The Prophet took a sheet of cloth known as Kurdi which belonged to Abu Jahm, and the people told him that the former sheet was better than this one.

The above-mentioned tradition has also been narrated by 'A’ishah through a different chain of transmitters. This version adds: He (the prophet) took a kind of sheet of cloth known as Kurdi which belongs to Abu Jahm. The people told him; Messenger of Allah, the (former) sheet of cloth was better than this kind of Kurdi sheet.
حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ وَأَخَذَ كُرْدِيًّا كَانَ لأَبِي جَهْمٍ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْخَمِيصَةُ كَانَتْ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْكُرْدِيِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of quality in material goods. The Prophet took a sheet of cloth known as Kurdi which belonged to Abu Jahm, and the people told him that the former sheet was better than this one. This shows us that even though something may be owned by someone or given to us by someone else, we should still be mindful of its quality and not settle for anything less than what is best for us. We should also strive to make sure that whatever we give away is also of good quality so as not to disappoint those who receive it from us. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us about being mindful when making comparisons between two things; instead of simply comparing them based on their appearance or ownership, we should take into account their actual qualities before making any judgments.
