Sahih al-Bukhari 5841 (Book 77, Hadith 58) #5602
Luxurious Clothing and Faith in the Hereafter

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) warned against wearing luxurious clothing as it is a sign of arrogance and lack of faith in the Hereafter.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: 'Umar saw a silk suit being sold, so he said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Why don't you buy it so that you may wear it when delegates come to you, and also on Fridays?" The Prophet said, "This is worn only by him who has no share in the Hereafter". Afterwards the Prophet sent to 'Umar a silk suit suitable for wearing'.Umar said to the Prophet, "You have given it to me to wear, yet I have heard you saying about it what you said?" The Prophet said, "I sent it to you so that you might either sell it or give it to somebody else to wear".
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ رَأَى حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ ابْتَعْتَهَا، تَلْبَسُهَا لِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا أَتَوْكَ وَالْجُمُعَةِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ بَعَثَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عُمَرَ حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ حَرِيرٍ، كَسَاهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ لِتَبِيعَهَا أَوْ تَكْسُوَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of modesty and humility when it comes to clothing. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against wearing luxurious clothing as it is a sign of arrogance and lack of faith in the Hereafter. He said that only those who have no share in the afterlife would wear such clothes. Umar asked why he didn't buy a silk suit for himself so he could wear it when delegates come to him or on Fridays, but the Prophet replied that this type of clothing should only be worn by those who have no faith in what lies beyond this life. He then sent Umar a silk suit suitable for wearing, which Umar accepted with hesitation because he remembered what his beloved teacher had said about such garments before. The Prophet then told him to either sell or give away the garment if he did not want to wear it himself. This hadith teaches us that we should be humble and modest with our dress sense, as luxury can lead us astray from our true purpose here on earth - worshipping Allah SWT - and make us forgetful about our ultimate destination - Paradise! We should also remember that whatever we do has consequences both here on earth and hereafter; therefore we must always strive to do good deeds so that we may earn Allah's pleasure both now and forevermore!
