Sahih al-Bukhari 5981 (Book 78, Hadith 12) #5741
Luxurious Clothing and its Consequences

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) warned against wearing luxurious clothing as it is a sign of arrogance and pride, which will lead to a person having no share in the Hereafter.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: My father, seeing a silken cloak being sold, said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! Buy this and wear it on Fridays and when the foreign delegates pay a visit to you". He said, "This is worn only by that person who will have no share in the Hereafter". Later a few silken cloaks were given to the Prophet ﷺ as a gift, and he sent one of those cloaks to 'Umar'.Umar said (to the Prophet), "How can I wear it while you have said about it what you said?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I did not give it to you to wear but to sell or to give to someone else to wear". So 'Umar sent it to his (pagan) brother who was from the inhabitants of Mecca before he ('Umar's brother) embraced Islam.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ رَأَى عُمَرُ حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْتَعْ هَذِهِ، وَالْبَسْهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَإِذَا جَاءَكَ الْوُفُودُ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْهَا بِحُلَلٍ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِحُلَّةٍ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ أَلْبَسُهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا، وَلَكِنْ تَبِيعُهَا أَوْ تَكْسُوهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى أَخٍ لَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ‏.‏

Use possessions wisely and give generously to those who are less fortunate than you

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us against wearing luxurious clothing as it is a sign of arrogance and pride. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that those who wear such clothing will have no share in the Hereafter. He was given some silken cloaks as gifts, but he did not keep them for himself; instead, he sent them to Umar to be sold or given away. Umar's brother was still living in Mecca before he accepted Islam, so Umar gave him one of the cloaks. This hadith teaches us that we should not be proud or arrogant about our possessions or wealth; rather, we should use them wisely and give generously to those who are less fortunate than us. We should also remember that our actions have consequences - if we are too proud or arrogant about what we own, then this could lead to us having no share in the Hereafter.
