Sahih al-Bukhari 2612 (Book 51, Hadith 45) #2499
Luxurious Clothing and its Impact on the Afterlife

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against wearing luxurious clothing as it is a sign of arrogance and pride, which will lead to a lack of reward in the afterlife.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: 'Umar bin Al-Khattab saw a silken dress (cloak) being sold at the gate of the Mosque and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Would that you buy it and wear it on Fridays and when the delegates come to you!" Allah's Messenger said, "This is worn by the one who will have no share in the Hereafter". Later on some silk dresses were brought and Allah's Messenger sent one of them to 'Umar'.Umar said, "How do you give me this to wear while you said what you said about the dress of Utarid?" Allah's Messenger said, "I have not given it to you to wear". So, 'Umar gave it to a pagan brother of his in Mecca.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ رَأَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ عِنْدَ باب الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَهَا فَلَبِسْتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُهَا مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ حُلَلٌ فَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عُمَرَ مِنْهَا حُلَّةً، وَقَالَ أَكَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقُلْتَ فِي حُلَّةِ عُطَارِدٍ مَا قُلْتَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَكَسَا عُمَرُ أَخًا لَهُ بِمَكَّةَ مُشْرِكًا‏.‏
