Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 14, Hadith 19
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar that : ‘Umar bin al-Khattab saw a Hullah and said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), why don’t you buy this and wear it on Fridays and when meeting the delegations when they come to you?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “This is worn by one who has no share in the Hereafter.” Then something similar was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he gave a Hullah to ‘Umar from it. ‘Umar said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), have you given me this when you said what you said about the Hullah of ‘Utarid?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I have not given it to you to wear it.” So ‘Umar gave it to an idolator brother of his in Makkah.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَأَى حُلَّةً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ هَذِهِ فَلَبِسْتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ ” . ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلُهَا فَأَعْطَى عُمَرَ مِنْهَا حُلَّةً فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِي حُلَّةِ عُطَارِدٍ مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا ” . فَكَسَاهَا عُمَرُ أَخًا لَهُ مُشْرِكًا بِمَكَّةَ .
Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 14, Hadith 19
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i, a master of hadith sciences, gifted the Muslim world with his seminal work, the Sunan an-Nasa’i, in the 9th century. This compilation is rightfully counted among the Kutub al-Sittah, the six books that are essential for any serious study of Sunni Islam. The text itself contains a vast repository of more than 5,700 hadiths, all focused on the documented words and deeds of the Prophet. The compiler’s renowned rigorous methodology ensured that only the most authentic reports were included, with weak or spurious narrations being systematically excluded. This scrupulous approach has earned the collection widespread acclaim as a model of authenticity.
