Hadith 5095

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : رَأَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فِي سُوقٍ ثَوْبًا مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَوْ ابْتَعْتَ هَذَا الثَّوْبَ لِلْوَفْدِ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرَ أَوْ قَالَ : هَذَا مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ " ، قَالَ : أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ : " فِي الْآخِرَةِ " ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَاكَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَوْبٍ مِنْهَا ، فَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ ، فَكَرِهَهُ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، بَعَثْتَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِيهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ : " إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرَ أَوْ قَالَ : هَذَا مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ " ؟ ! قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَمْ أَبْعَثْ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ لِتَلْبَسَهُ ، وَلَكِنْ بَعَثْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ لِتُصِيبَ بِهِ ثَمَنًا " ، قَالَ سَالِمٌ : فَمِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَكْرَهُ الْعَلَمَ فِي الثَّوْبِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a silk garment being sold, so he said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "If you were to buy it, you could wear it on Fridays or when delegations come to you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is worn by the one who has no share in the Hereafter." A few days later, some silk garments came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent one of those garments to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You yourself said what I heard about this, and now you have sent me this silk garment?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have sent it to you so that you may sell it and use its price for your own needs."
