3558. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saw 'Umar wearing a white shirt and he said: "Is this garment of yours washed or a new one?" He said: "Rather it has been washed." He said: "Ilbas jadida, wa 'ish hamida, wa mut shahida (May you wear new clothes, live a good life and die as martyr)." (Da'if)
3558 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: رَأَى عَلَى عُمَرَ قَمِيصًا أَبْيَضَ فَقَالَ: «ثَوْبُكَ هَذَا غَسِيلٌ أَمْ جَدِيدٌ؟» قَالَ: لَا، بَلْ غَسِيلٌ. قَالَ: «الْبَسْ جَدِيدًا، وَعِشْ حَمِيدًا، وَمُتْ شَهِيدًا» بَابُ

White dress is the best dress, and the Prophet ﷺ used to love it most. Supplicating for someone to get martyrdom is allowed. This supplication of the Prophet ﷺ for 'Umar ﷺ was responded to. His life was unique; he became a ruler of a large state and set the unique examples of his pierness, justice and courage that are still beyond comparison.
