Sunan an-Nasai 5295 (Book 48, Hadith 256) #19827
Luxurious Clothing and the Hereafter

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) discouraged the wearing of luxurious clothing and instead encouraged giving away or selling such items.

It was narrated from 'Umar bin Al-Khattab that: He saw a Hullah of Sira silk being offered for sale at the door of the Masjid. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, why don't you buy this and wear it on Fridays, and (when meeting) the delegations when they come to you?" The Messenger of Allah SAW said: "This is only worn by one who has no share in the Hereafter". After that some (other) Hullahs were brought to the Messenger of Allah SAW and he gave me one. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, you gave me this when you said what you said about it!" The Prophet SAW said: "I did not give it to you to wear it! Rather I gave it to you to give away or to sell". So 'Umar gave it to a brother of his son on his mother's side who was an idolater.
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ هَذَا لِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدُ مِنْهَا بِحُلَلٍ فَكَسَانِي مِنْهَا حُلَّةً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ‏"‏ لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا إِنَّمَا كَسَوْتُكَهَا لِتَكْسُوهَا أَوْ لِتَبِيعَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَكَسَاهَا عُمَرُ أَخًا لَهُ مِنْ أُمِّهِ مُشْرِكًا

QUICK LESSONS:
Be generous with your wealth; Use your wealth for good causes; Focus on spiritual matters over material possessions; Give away or sell luxurious clothing instead of wearing them; Be modest in dress.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Umar bin Al-Khattab speaks to the importance of modesty in dress. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) discouraged the wearing of luxurious clothing and instead encouraged giving away or selling such items. This is because those who are focused on material wealth have no share in the Hereafter. Instead, it is important to focus on spiritual matters rather than worldly possessions. This hadith also speaks to charity as 'Umar gave away a Hullah of Sira silk to a brother of his son who was an idolater. It is important for Muslims to be generous with their wealth and use it for good causes that will benefit others in this life and beyond.
