Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39567 — The Battle of the Trench

Muhammad said: Waqid bin Amr bin Sa'd narrated to me. He said: Waqid was among the handsomest and tallest of people. He said: I went in to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). He said to me: "Who are you?" I said: "I am Waqid bin Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh." He said: "May Allah have mercy on Sa'd. You truly resemble Sa'd." Then he said: "May Allah have mercy on Sa'd. He was among the handsomest and tallest of people." He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent to Ukaydir of Dumah, and he sent him a brocade cloak woven with gold. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put it on, stood on the pulpit, then sat and did not speak. The people began touching the cloak and marvelling at it. He said: "Do you marvel at it?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have never seen a garment more beautiful than it." He said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the handkerchiefs of Sa'd bin Mu'adh in Paradise are more beautiful than what you see."
