Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the chief of Duma, Ukaydir, gave the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a fine silk or pure silk cloak. This was at a time when wearing silk had not yet been made unlawful. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore it, and people were greatly astonished upon seeing it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad! The handkerchief of Sa’d bin Mu’adh in Paradise is better than this."
