عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَاهِبًا أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جُبَّةَ سُنْدُسٍ فَلَبِسَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْبَيْتَ فَوَضَعَهَا وَأَحَسَّ بِوَفْدٍ أَتَوْهُ فَأَمَرَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ الْجُبَّةَ لِقُدُومِ الْوَفْدِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَصْلُحُ لِبَاسُهَا لَنَا فِي الْدُّنْيَا وَيَصْلُحُ لَنَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَلَكِنْ خُذْهَا يَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ يَكْرَهُهَا وَآخَذُهَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تَلْبَسَهَا وَلَكِنْ أَرْسِلْ بِهَا إِلَى أَرْضِ فَارِسَ فَتُصِيبَ بِهَا مَالًا فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ وَكَانَ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَى مَنْ فَرَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a monk gave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a fine silk cloak. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore it, then he came home and took it off. Meanwhile, he learned that a delegation had arrived. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) advised the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to wear that same cloak upon the arrival of the delegation, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This garment is not suitable for us in this world; it will be for us in the Hereafter. But O Umar! You take it." He said: "You dislike it, and I should take it—how can that be?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am not giving it to you so that you wear it; I am giving it to you so that you send it to the region of Persia and obtain wealth in exchange for it." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent it to the Negus, because he had treated those Companions well who had migrated to him.
