Abu Ahwas ‘Awf bin Malik narrates from his father: I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). My condition was disheveled. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Do you have wealth? I replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: What kind of wealth? I replied: Allah Almighty has granted me all kinds of wealth—camels, slaves, and goats. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty has granted you wealth, its sign should be visible on you. The narrator states: I asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! What is your opinion about a person with whom I stay as a guest, but he does not honor me nor show hospitality, and then, at another time, he stays with me as a guest—should I repay his behavior? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: No, rather you should show him hospitality. Abu Ahwas ‘Awf bin Malik bin Nadlah’s father was a companion.

Abu Ahwas narrates from his father: He presented himself before the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) observed him in the form of a villager with disheveled, dusty hair and asked: Do you have wealth? He replied: Allah Almighty has granted me every kind of wealth. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty bestows a blessing upon a servant, He likes that the blessing be visible on that servant.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: On the occasion of the expedition of Anmar, we set out with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Once, we camped under a tree. During this, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came. The narrator says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Please come to the shade." The narrator says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) dismounted (from his ride). Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I got up and went to my provision bag. I searched in it and found a cucumber. I broke it and then presented it to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked, "Where did you get this from?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! We brought it with us from Madinah Munawwarah." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We had a companion to whom we would prepare provisions, and he would take our riding animals to graze. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I prepared his provisions, then he loaded them on his back and set off. He had two sheets on his body which had become old. The narrator says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) looked at him and asked, "Does he have no other clothes besides these two sheets?" Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! He has two more garments in the provisions which I gave him to wear." The narrator says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Call him and instruct him to wear those clothes." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I called him, he wore those two garments, then he was about to leave when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "What is wrong with him? May Allah strike his neck—is this not better?" That person heard this and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), in the way of Allah?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "In the way of Allah." Then that person was martyred in the way of Allah.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This was the initial intention of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Zaid bin Aslam heard hadith from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) because Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in 79 AH, and Aslam passed away around 50 AH during the rule of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Marwan bin Hakam performed his funeral prayer, who was then the governor of Madinah Munawwarah, so this will guide you to this matter. He heard hadith from Sayyiduna Jabir; he was an elderly man, while Zaid bin Aslam passed away in 136 AH. He was of quite advanced age.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once we were traveling with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). During this, a man came riding on his she-camel and began looking right and left. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has extra luggage should give it to the one who has none, and whoever has extra provisions should give them to the one who has none. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned various types of wealth until we began to feel as if none of us had any right to keep anything extra.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wore a new garment, he would say Bismillah and recite:“O Allah! You have clothed me with this shirt or cloak or turban. I ask You for its goodness and the goodness for which it was made, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil for which it was made.”

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wore a new garment, he would mention the name of that garment and recite this supplication: "O Allah! You have clothed me with this (cloak or shirt), all praise is exclusively for You. I ask You for its goodness and the goodness for which it was made, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil for which it was made."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wore a shirt, he would begin from the right side.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Wear white clothes and shroud your dead in white clothes, for they are the best of your clothes. And among your kohl, the best is ithmid, for it sharpens the eyesight and grows the hair.

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted marking (i.e., a strip of silk on a garment) as wide as two fingers.
