4037. It was narrated from Abū Zumail (who said): "Abdullāh bin 'Abbās narrated to us: 'When the Ĥarūris rebelled, I came to 'Alī, and he said: "Go to these people," and I wore the best kind of Yemeni Hullah.'" - Abū Zumail said: "Ibn 'Abbās was a handsome man and good-looking. - Ibn 'Abbās said: 'I came to them and they said: "Welcome to you, O Ibn 'Abbās. What is this Hillah?" He said: 'Are you criticizing me? I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wearing one of the best of Hullah.'" (Sahīh)

4037 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ أَبُو ثَوْرٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْيَمَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا خَرَجَتِ الْحَرُورِيَّةُ أَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: ائْتِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ فَلَبِسْتُ أَحْسَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ حُلَلِ الْيَمَنِ - قَالَ أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ: وَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَجُلًا جَمِيلًا جَهِيرًا - قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَقَالُوا: مَرْحَبًا بِكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مَا هَذِهِ الْحُلَّةُ قَالَ: مَا تَعِيبُونَ عَلَيَّ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الحُلَلِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «اسْمُ أَبِي زُمَيْلٍ سِمَاكُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْحَنَفِيُّ»

Commentary

These narrations prove that one should not be overly concerned with clothing, but at the same time, there is no harm with wearing what is nice, if Allāh has blessed one with it.
