Musnad Ahmad 1154 (Book 5, Hadith 568) #34794
Sharing Generosity with Loved Ones

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ gave 'Ali (??? ???? ???) a suit of silk and told him to cut it up for his womenfolk, such as Fatimah and his paternal aunt, as he did not like for 'Ali what he did not like for himself.

It was narrated from 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) that The Prophet was given a (hullah) suit of silk, and he gave it to me 'Ali'.Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I went out wearing it, and the Prophet said: "I do not like for you what I do not like for myself". And he told me to cut it up for my womenfolk, for head covers, between Fatimah and his paternal aunt.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ هُبَيْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ أُهْدِيَتْ لَهُ حُلَّةٌ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ فَكَسَانِيهَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ لَسْتُ أَرْضَى لَكَ مَا أَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِي قَالَ فَأَمَرَنِي فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي خُمُرًا بَيْنَ فَاطِمَةَ وَعَمَّتِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of generosity and sharing with those we love. The Prophet Muhammad was given a suit of silk, which he then gave to Ali. Rather than keeping it for himself, the Prophet chose to share this gift with Ali's family members - specifically Fatimah and his paternal aunt. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous in our giving even when it comes to something special or valuable that we have been gifted. We should also remember that our loved ones are important enough to share these gifts with them too! Furthermore, this hadith shows us how the Prophet Muhammad lived by example - if he didn't want something for himself then he wouldn't want it for others either. He set an example of selflessness and generosity that all Muslims should strive towards in their own lives.
