Sunan Abi Dawud 4047 (Book 34, Hadith 28) #24337
Gift from the King of Rome

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was gifted a fur of silk brocade by the king of Rome and he sent it to his brother Negus.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The king of Rome presented a fur of silk brocade to the Prophet and he wore it. The scene that his hands were moving (while wearing the robe) is before my eyes. He then sent it to Ja'far who wore it and came to him. The Prophet said: I did not send it to you to wear. He asked: What should I do with it? He replied: Send it to your brother Negus.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ مَلِكَ الرُّومِ، أَهْدَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ مُسْتَقَةً مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ فَلَبِسَهَا فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى يَدَيْهِ تَذَبْذَبَانِ ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ فَلَبِسَهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ أَرْسِلْ بِهَا إِلَى أَخِيكَ النَّجَاشِيِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's generosity and kindness. He was gifted a fur of silk brocade by the king of Rome, but instead of keeping it for himself, he chose to send it to his brother Negus. This shows us that even though he was given something special, he still chose to share it with someone else out of kindness and generosity. We can learn from this hadith that we should always be generous with what we have and share our blessings with others. We should also remember that no matter how much wealth or possessions we have, they are not as important as being kind and generous towards others.
