Abdullah bin Umar said: Umar bin al-Khattab saw a silken suit sold at the gate of the mosque. He said: Messenger of Allah, would that you purchase this suit and wear it on Friday and on the occasion when a delegation (from the outside) comes to you. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: One who has no share in the afterlife will put on this (suit). Afterwards suits of similar nature were brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He gave Umar bin al-Khattab one of these suits. Umar said: Messenger of Allah, you are giving it to me for use while you had told me such-and-such about the suit of ‘Utarid (I. e. sold by ‘Utarid). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: I did not give it to you that you should wear it. Hence Umar gave it to his brother who was a disbeliever at Makkah for wearing.

He said: By Allah, I know (the wood) of which it was made; I saw it the first day when it was placed there, and the first day when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sat on it. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sent for a woman whom Sahl named and asked her: Order your boy, the carpenter, to construct for me a wooden pulpit so that I sit on it when I deliver a speech to the people. So she ordered him and he made a pulpit of a wood called tarfa taken from al-Ghabah (a place at a distance of nine miles from Madina). He brought it to her. She sent it to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He ordered and that was placed here. I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم praying on it: he said: Allah is most great ; he then bowed while he was on it; then he returned and prostrated in the root of the pulpit; he then returned (to the pulpit).
