[Machine] Umar ibn al-Khattab went out intending to visit the Prophet ﷺ . He came across a man from the Banu Tamim tribe who was selling a silk garment. Umar then went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I saw someone selling a silk garment, so buy it and wear it when delegations come to visit you." The Prophet ﷺ responded, "Indeed, silk garments are only worn by those who have no character."  

أحمد:٥٥٤٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَتَشٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

خَرَجَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يُرِيدُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَى عَلَى عُطَارِدٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَهُوَ يُقِيمُ حُلَّةً مِنْ حَرِيرٍ يَبِيعُهَا فَأَتَى عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُ عُطَارِدًايَبِيعُ حُلَّتَهُ فَاشْتَرِيهَا تَلْبَسْهَا إِذَا أَتَاكَ وُفُودُ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرَ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ
