O Allah, shower Your mercy upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as You showered Your mercy upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious. O Allah, shower Your blessings upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as You showered Your blessings upon the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious.
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) Burns His Sheet
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) says:
Once, we were accompanying Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) on a journey. I went to see him and I was wearing a saffron coloured sheet. He asked me, “What is this that you are wearing?” I felt that he did not like my wearing a cloth of that colour. Hence, when I reached home and found a fire burning, I threw my garment into the fire.
The next day, when I went to Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), he inquired, “Where is that sheet?” On informing him of what I had done with it, he remarked, “You could have given it to one of the ladies in your house. Women are permitted to wear clothes of that colour.” (Sunan Abi Dawood #4066)
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) was so perturbed at Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)’s displeasure that he did not hesitate to avail of the first opportunity of doing away with the sheet that caused the displeasure. He did not even think of finding any other use for that garment. If we had been in his place, we would have thought of some excuse or the other for keeping it, or at least finding some other use for it.
يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
