It was narrated that Wafid bin 'Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh said: "I entered upon Anas bin Malik when he came to Al-Madinah and greeted him with Salam. He said: 'Where are you from?' I said: 'I am Wafid bin 'Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh'. He said: 'Sa'd was the greatest and most virtuous of people'. Then he wept a great deal, then he said: 'The Messenger of Allah SAW sent a delegation to Ukaidir the ruler of Dumah, who sent him a Jubbah made of Ad-Dibaj interwoven with gold. The Messenger of Allah SAW put it on, then he stood on the Minbar and sat, without speaking, then he came down and the people started touching it with their hands. He said: 'Are you admiring this? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd in Paradise are more beautiful than what you see'."
This hadith teaches us to appreciate beauty but also reminds us not to become too attached or enamored with worldly possessions as nothing compares to what awaits us in Jannah if we remain steadfast believers throughout our lives. We should strive for excellence in this life so we can be rewarded with an even greater reward in the hereafter - one which is beyond our wildest dreams!
