Brief Explanation
Benefits: … When meeting other people, one should adopt a good appearance, just as Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu had said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that he should purchase such-and-such silk garment to wear on Fridays and when meeting various delegations. In response, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam rejected it due to it being silk, but did not reject the intention of Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu.
