Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Waqid bin Amr bin Saad bin Muadh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when I came to Madinah with my brother, I went to Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). And I greeted him with salam. He (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Who are you? I said: I am Waqid bin Amr bin Saad bin Muadh. He (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and wept much. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Surely you resemble Hazrat (Saad). Indeed, he was the greatest and most noble man among the people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent an army towards Akidar Duma, so he sent to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a garment which was made of silk and embroidered with gold. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wore it, and people began to touch the cloth because of its beauty. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you like this? The people said: O Messenger of Allah! We have never seen a cloth better and more beautiful than this. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The handkerchiefs of Saad (may Allah be pleased with him) in Paradise are more beautiful than the cloth you are seeing.
