Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 3081 — I went to Yemen and bought a fine suit

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَابْتَعْتُ حُلَّةَ ذِي يَزَنَ، فَأَهْدَيْتُهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالَ: «لَا أَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّةَ مُشْرِكٍ» ، فَرَدَّهَا، فَبِعْتُها فَاشْتَرَاهَا فَلَبِسَهَا، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَهِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا فِي شَيْءٍ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ فِيهَا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمَا مَلَكْتُ أَنْ قُلْتُ:
[البحر الطويل]
مَا يَنْظُرُ الْحُكَّامُ بِالْفَضْلِ بَعْدَمَا ... بَدَا وَاضِحٌ مِنْ ذي غُرَّةٍ وَحُجُولِ
إِذَا قَايَسُوهُ الْمَجْدَ أرْبَا عَلَيْهِمُ ... بِمُسْتَفْرَغٍ مَاءِ الذِّنَابِ سَجِيلِ
فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ يَبْتَسِمُ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَكَسَاهَا أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ
Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went to Yemen and bought a fine suit of clothes of Dhu Yazan there, and presented it as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the period of truce between him (peace and blessings be upon him) and Quraysh. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not accept the gift of a polytheist," and returned it. So I sold it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself bought it and wore it, then went out to his Companions while it was on him. I have never seen anything look as beautiful on anything as that suit looked on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I could not stop myself from saying:
"What are the judges waiting for, after a radiant, distinguished face has appeared?
When they vie with him in glory, he will prevail over them like clear water flowing from a spring."
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard this and turned towards me smiling, then went inside and clothed Usamah bin Zayd with that suit.
