Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ عَن أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَن الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ أُهْدِيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَوْبٌ حَرِيرٌ فَجَعَلْنَا نَلْمِسُهُ وَنَعْجَبُ مِنْهُ وَنَقُولُ مَا رَأَيْنَا ثَوْبًا خَيْرًا مِنْهُ وَأَلْيَنَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُعْجِبُكُمْ هَذَا قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَلْيَنُ.
English Translation
Aswad ibn 'Amir told us, Isra'il or someone else informed us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara', who said: A garment of silk was presented as a gift to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and we began touching it and marveling at it, saying, "We have not seen a garment better or softer than this." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Does this amaze you?" We said, "Yes." He said, "The handkerchiefs of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh in Paradise are better than this and softer."
