Musnad Ahmad 1355 (Book 5, Hadith 755) #34981
Dressing Modestly and Being Thankful to Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of dressing modestly and being thankful to Allah for providing us with clothing.

It was narrated from Abu Matar that He saw 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) go to a young boy and buy a chemise from him for three Dirhams. He put it on, and when it reached his wrists and ankles he said: Praise be to Allah Who has provided me with a garment with which to beautify myself before the people and cover my 'awrah. It was said: Is this something you say yourself or are you narrating it from the Prophet of Allah ? He said: This is something that I heard the Messenger of Allah say when putting on a garment: "Praise be to Allah Who has provided me with a garment with which to beautify myself before the people and cover my 'awrah".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُخْتَارُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ التَّمَّارُ، عَنْ أَبِي مَطَرٍ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَلِيًّا أَتَى غُلَامًا حَدَثًا فَاشْتَرَى، مِنْهُ قَمِيصًا بِثَلَاثَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَلَبِسَهُ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ الرُّسْغَيْنِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ يَقُولُ وَلَبِسَهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي مِنْ الرِّيَاشِ مَا أَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ وَأُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتِي فَقِيلَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ تَرْوِيهِ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ أَوْ عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ قَالَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُهُ عِنْدَ الْكُسْوَةِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي مِنْ الرِّيَاشِ مَا أَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ وَأُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتِي‏.‏
