Dividing Silk for Women's Head Covers

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was displeased when he saw 'Ali (??? ???? ???) wearing a suit made of silk and instructed him to divide it between the women as head covers.

It was narrated from Ibn Abi Laila: I heard 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: A suit made of silk was brought to the Prophet . He sent it to me and I put it on, then I saw displeasure in his face, and he told me to divide it between the women as head covers.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بِشْرٍ، سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ بِحُلَّةِ حَرِيرٍ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ فَلَبِسْتُهَا فَرَأَيْتُ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَأَمَرَنِي فَأَطَرْتُهَا خُمُرًا بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of modesty and humility in Islam. It was narrated from Ibn Abi Laila that he heard 'Ali say that a suit made of silk was brought to the Prophet. He sent it to him and when 'Ali put it on, the Prophet showed displeasure in his face. He then instructed him to divide it between the women as head covers, which shows us that modesty is highly valued in Islam. We should not be too proud or vain with our possessions, but instead use them for good deeds such as helping others or donating them to those who need them more than we do. This hadith also teaches us about humility; even though 'Ali was a close companion of the Prophet, he still followed his instructions without hesitation or argument. We should strive to emulate this example by being humble and obedient towards Allah's commands at all times.
