Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَن أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُلَّةٌ حَرِيرٌ فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَمَسُّونَهَا وَيَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِهَا فَقَالَ تَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِ هَذِهِ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا أَوْ أَلْيَنُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard al-Bara' say: A silk garment was given as a gift to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and his companions began touching it and marveling at its softness. He said: "Do you marvel at the softness of this? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh in Paradise are better than it" - or "softer."
