5304. It was narrated that Wâfid bin 'Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'âdh said: "I entered upon Anas bin Mâlik when he came to Al-Madinah and greeted him with Salâm. He said: 'Where are you from?' I said: 'I am Wâfid bin 'Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'âdh.' He said: 'Sa'd was the greatest and most virtuous of people.' Then he wept a great deal, then he said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent a delegation to Ukaidir the ruler of Dûmah, who sent him a Jubbah made of Ad-Dībāj interwoven with gold. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ put it on, then he stood on the Minbar and
sat, without speaking, then he came down and the people started touching it with their hands. He said: 'Are you admiring this? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd in Paradise are more beautiful than what you see.'" (Hasan)
