Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ أُهْدِيَ لِنَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جُبَّةٌ مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْ الْحَرِيرِ فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ مَنَادِيلَ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا.
English Translation
Yunus told us, Shayban told us, from Qatadah, who said: And Anas ibn Malik related that a robe of fine silk was presented as a gift to the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he used to forbid silk, so the people were amazed at it. He said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the handkerchiefs of Sa’d ibn Mu’adh in Paradise are more excellent than this."
