[Machine] I went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the market, leaning against him. I saw a flowing garment being sold at the market, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you buy this and adorn yourself with it when Arab delegations come to you or when you address the people on Eid and other occasions." He said, "This is only worn by those who have no good character." So, I stayed for as long as Allah willed, then a flowing garment was given as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he sent it to me. I went out hastily when I heard about it and when he sent it to me, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you are sending me this garment, and yet I heard you say about it what you said?" He said, "Indeed, I only sent it to you for you to wear it or sell it and spend its price. I did not send it to you for you to adorn yourself with it." So, Umar sent it to the market.
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى السُّوقِ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى فِيهِ فَرَأَيْتُ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ ابْتَعْتَ هَذِهِ فَتَجَمَّلْتَ بِهَا لِوُفُودِ الْعَرَبِ إِذَا أَتَوْكَ وَإِذَا خَطَبْتَ النَّاسَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ وَغَيْرِهِ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ» فَمَكَثَتْ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ فَخَرَجْتُ فَزِعًا لَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ وَلِإِرْسَالِهِ بِهَا إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تُرْسِلُ بِهَذِهِ الْحُلَّةِ إِلَيَّ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ «إِنِّي إِنَّمَا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَكْسُوَهَا أَوْ تَبِيعَهَا وَتَسْتَنْفِقَ بِثَمَنِهَا لَمْ أُرْسِلْ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَلْبَسَهَا» فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى السُّوقِ
