5301. Ibn 'Umar narrated that 'Umar went out and saw a Hullah of Al-Istabraq being offered for sale in the marketplace. He went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, buy this and wear it on Fridays, and when the delegations come to you." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "This is only worn by the one who has no share (in the Hereafter)." Then three Hullahs (of the same fabric) were brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he gave one to 'Umar, one to 'Alī and one to Usāmah. He ('Umar) came to him
and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, you said what you said about it, then you sent one to me!" He said: "Sell it and spend the money on your needs, or cut it into pieces for your womenfolk to use as head covers." (Sahīh)
