Chapter: Maintaining Ties with a Polytheist Relative and Giving Gifts
Hadith 71
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، رَأَى عُمَرُ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ هَذِهِ، فَلَبِسْتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَلِلْوُفُودِ إِذَا أَتَوْكَ، فَقَالَ: ”يَا عُمَرُ، إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ“، ثُمَّ أُهْدِيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهَا حُلَلٌ، فَأَهْدَى إِلَى عُمَرَ مِنْهَا حُلَّةً، فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بَعَثْتَ إِلَيَّ هَذِهِ، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ، قَالَ: ”إِنِّي لَمْ أُهْدِهَا لَكَ لِتَلْبَسَهَا، إِنَّمَا أَهْدَيْتُهَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَبِيعَهَا أَوْ لِتَكْسُوَهَا“، فَأَهْدَاهَا عُمَرُ لأَخٍ لَهُ مِنْ أُمِّهِ مُشْرِكٍ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a suit of striped silk clothes and said (to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! If you were to buy this and wear it on Fridays and for receiving delegations (how good it would look)," upon this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar! This is worn only by the one who has no share in the Hereafter." Later, similar suits were sent to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent one suit as a gift to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! You have sent this to me, even though I heard you say about it what you said." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I did not send it to you so that you wear it. My purpose in giving it as a gift was that you sell it (and benefit from its price), or give it to someone else." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave it as a gift to his polytheist brother from his mother's side.
