Hadiths About The Clothing Of The Prophet (saw)

Hadiths about The Clothing Of The Prophet (saw): Clean and simple.

Abu al-Ahwas quoted his father (ra) saying, “I came to the Prophet (saw) wearing a lowly garment and he said (to me), ‘Have you got any property?’ I replied, ‘Yes.’ He asked, ‘What type (of property) is it?’ I said, ‘Allah has given me camels, sheep, horses, and slaves.’ He then said, ‘When Allah gives you property, let the mark of Allah’s favor and honor upon you be seen.’” (Abu Daʾud, al-Libas, 14; T2006, al-Tirmidhi, al-Birr, 63)

ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb reported through his father from his grandfather (ra) that Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “Eat, give charity and clothe yourselves, without being extravagant, and without showing off.” (al-Nasaʾi, al-Zakat, 66)

It was reported on the authority of ʿAbd Allah b. Masʿud (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “He who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride shall not enter Paradise.” A person (among the listeners) said, “Verily a person loves that his dress should be fine, and his shoes should be fine.” The Prophet remarked, “Verily, Allah is Graceful and He loves Grace. Pride is to disdain the truth (out of self-conceit) and have contempt for the people.”  (Muslim, al-Iman, 147)

According to the report of Salim b. ʿAbd Allah from his father (ra), Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “Allah will not look on the Day of Resurrection at the person who drags his garment (behind him) out of conceit.” Then Abu Bakr said, “O Allah’s Messenger! One side of my izār hangs low if I do not take care of it.” The Prophet (saw) said, “You are not one of those who do that out of conceit.” (al-Bukhari, al-Libas, 2)

Baraʾ (b. ʿAzib) (ra) said, “I have not seen anyone with hair past his shoulders in a red garment more handsome than the Messenger of Allah (saw)...” (al-Tirmidhi, al-Libas, 4)
