The Prophet saw a man wearing old clothes

It was reported that Abu’l-Ahwas al-Jashami said:

رآني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وعليَّ أطمار فقال هل لك من مال قلت نعم قال من أي المال قلت من كل ما آتى الله من الإبل والشاه قال فلتر نعمته وكرامته عليك



ENGLISH:

The Prophet saw me wearing old, tattered clothes, and asked me, “Do you have any wealth?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “What kind of wealth?” I said, “All that Allaah has given me of camels and sheep.” He said, “Then show the generous blessings that He has given you.”

NEDERLANDS:

De Profeet zag mij in gescheurde kleren, en hij vroeg: "Heb jij enige bezittingen?" Ik zei: "Ja." Hij vroeg: "Wat voor bezittingen?" Ik zei: "Alle kamelen en schapen waarmee Allah mij heeft gezegend." De Profeet zei: "Laat dus Zijn zegeningen zien (in je uiterlijk)."

[Ahmad 15323; Al-Tirmidhi 1929, Al-Nisaa’i 5128].
