Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

39567 - Muhammad said: Waqid ibn (Amr) (1) ibn Sa'd narrated to me, and Waqid was among the most handsome and tallest of people. He said: I entered upon Anas ibn Malik, and he said to me: Who are you? I said: I am Waqid ibn Amr ibn Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. (He said) (2): May Allah have mercy on Sa'd, indeed you ⦗494⦘ resemble Sa'd. Then he said: May Allah have mercy on Sa'd, he was among the most handsome and tallest of people. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent (to) (3) Akidar of Dumat, and he sent him a brocade robe woven with gold. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore it, then stood on the minbar and sat without speaking. (The people) (4) (5) began touching (the robe) (6) and marveling at it. He said: "Are you amazed by it?" They said: O Messenger of Allah, we have never seen a garment more beautiful than it. He said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, the handkerchiefs of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh in Paradise are better than what you see." (7).
