Hadith 27:686

Abu Usama narrated to us, he said: Al-A’mash narrated to us, from Ibrahim—Al-A’mash said: I think it is from Ibn Umar—he said: Garments arrived for Umar, and he began distributing them among the people. A fine Najrani garment passed by him, so he placed it under his thigh until a man of my name passed by. I said: "Clothe me with it." He said: "I swear by Allah, I will clothe a man with it who is better than you, and whose father is better than your father." Then he called Abdullah ibn al-Rahib and clothed him with it.

حدثنا أبو أسامة قال ثنا الأعمش عن إبراهيم قال الأعمش أراه عن بن عمر قال قدمت على عمر حلل فجعل يقسمها بين الناس فمرت به حلة نجرانية جيدة فوضعها تحت فخذه حتى مر على اسمي فقلت اكسنيها فقال أكسوها والله رجلا خيرا منك وأبوه خير من أبيك فدعا عبد الله بن الراهب فكساه إياها
