The Mantle of the Messenger of Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Ibn Umar returning a garment with red warp and Asma' showing her mantle of course ornamented cloth that was hemmed with brocade.

Narrated Asma: Abdullah AbuUmar, client of Asma', daughter of AbuBakr, said: I saw Ibn Umar buying a Syrian garment in the market. When he saw that it had red warp, he returned it. I then came to Asma' and mentioned it to her. She said: Bring me, slave-girl, the mantle of the Messenger of Allah . She brought out a mantle of a course ornamented cloth, with its collar, sleeves, front, and back were hemmed with brocade.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَبُو عُمَرَ، مَوْلَى أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فِي السُّوقِ اشْتَرَى ثَوْبًا شَامِيًّا فَرَأَى فِيهِ خَيْطًا أَحْمَرَ فَرَدَّهُ فَأَتَيْتُ أَسْمَاءَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا جَارِيَةُ نَاوِلِينِي جُبَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَأَخْرَجَتْ جُبَّةَ طَيَالِسَةَ مَكْفُوفَةَ الْجَيْبِ وَالْكُمَّيْنِ وَالْفَرْجَيْنِ بِالدِّيبَاجِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Dress modestly while still looking nice
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of modesty in clothing. It tells us that even though Ibn Umar was buying a Syrian garment in the market he returned it when he saw it had red warp. Red warp was considered to be too flashy for him to wear as it would draw attention to himself. Furthermore, when mentioning this incident to Asma', she showed her mantle which was made from a course ornamented cloth with its collar, sleeves, front and back hemmed with brocade. This shows us that even though one can dress nicely they should still maintain modesty in their clothing choices so as not to draw attention away from Allah's message or teachings.
