Showing Gratitude for Allah's Blessings

SUMMARY: The Prophet (SAW) advised a man to show the effects of Allah's blessing and generosity by wearing nice clothes.

It was narrated from Abu Al-Ahwas, from his father, : That he came to the Prophet SAW wearing shabby clothes. The Prophet SAW said to him: "Do you have any wealth?" He said: "Yes, all kinds of wealth". He said: "What kinds of wealth?" He said: "Allah has given me camels, cattle, sheep, horses and slaves". He said: "If Allah has given you wealth, then let the effect of Allah's blessing and generosity be seen on you".
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ فِي ثَوْبٍ دُونٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أَلَكَ مَالٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ مِنْ أَىِّ الْمَالِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قَدْ آتَانِيَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَالْخَيْلِ وَالرَّقِيقِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِذَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَلْيُرَ عَلَيْكَ أَثَرُ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَكَرَامَتِهِ
