حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ مَوْلَى أَسْمَاءَ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، أَنَّهَا أَخْرَجَتْ جُبَّةً مُزَرَّرَةً بِالدِّيبَاجِ فَقَالَتْ : " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ " .
´It was narrated from Abu ‘Umar, the freed slave of Asma’, from Asma’ bint Abi Bakr, that she brought out a cloak edged with brocade and said:` “The Prophet (ﷺ) used to wear this when he met the enemy.”

Benefits and Issues:

The meaning of "nishan" (mark) is that its edge was embroidered with silk thread.
Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) cut off that much of the edge.
➋
Even a great scholar can make a mistake in a particular issue.
➌
The statement and action of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) take precedence over the fatwa of any scholar.
➍
If a man's garment has a small amount of silk on it, it is permissible, whether it is in the form of embroidery or as a piece of silk fabric.

One should go out wearing fine, good, and clean clothing, provided that the limits set by the Shari‘ah are not transgressed.
One must avoid pride, showing off, arrogance, and ostentation, and refrain from wearing prohibited clothing.
