The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one morning wearing a variegated garment of black goat hair. Narrated Utbah ibn AbdusSulami: I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to clothe me. He clothed me with two coarse clothes of linen.
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْهِ مِرْطٌ مُرَحَّلٌ مِنْ شَعْرٍ أَسْوَدَ وَقَالَ حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَقِيلِ بْنِ مُدْرِكٍ عَنْ لُقْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ اسْتَكْسَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَسَانِي خَيْشَتَيْنِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَأَنَا أَكْسَى أَصْحَابِي
My father said to me: My son, if you had seen us while we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the rain had fallen on us, you would have thought that our smell was the smell of the sheep.
لِي أَبِي يَا بُنَىَّ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ وَقَدْ أَصَابَتْنَا السَّمَاءُ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ رِيحَنَا رِيحُ الضَّأْنِ
The King Dhu Yazan presented to the apostle of Allah ﷺ a suit of clothes which he had purchased for thirty-three camels or thirty-three she-camels. He accepted it.
أَنَّ مَلِكَ ذِي يَزَنَ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حُلَّةً أَخَذَهَا بِثَلاَثَةٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ بَعِيرًا أَوْ ثَلاَثٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ نَاقَةً فَقَبِلَهَا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ purchased a suit of clothes for twenty she-camels and some more and he presented it to Dhu Yazan.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اشْتَرَى حُلَّةً بِبِضْعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَلُوصًا فَأَهْدَاهَا إِلَى ذِي يَزَنَ
