Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S13) Umar رضي الله عنه saw some companions wearing white Khurasan cloth after conquering the Persians. He did not speak to them. They were confused. Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم elucidated: “He did so, as you wore clothing that the Messenger ﷺ nor Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه ever wore”. The companions رضي الله عنهم then changed their garments, and Umar رضي الله عنه greeted each and everyone indivually. When the spoils of war were brought to Umar, he noticed a sweet dish and took a bit. He (رضي الله عنه) said: “For this, sons will kill fathers, and brothers will kill brothers”. He then distributed it to the children of companions who were martyred in the lifetime of our Messenger ﷺ. A group amongst the companions/tabi’een stated that Umar رضي الله عنه should have a better style of clothing - as Islam had now spread globally and should delegations arrive, he should look the part, as a form of dawah. Two people were suggested to advise him; Ali and Hafsah (a.s) - both of which knew it was no easy task. Aisha رضي الله عنها was the one to give the advice to Umar رضي الله عنه, and he wept profusely. “I have the perfect example to follow! My 2 companions [our Messenger ﷺ and Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه]”. Both of which took nothing from this Duniya. Our messenger ﷺ: “Some of my companions are knocking on the door to prophethood” - Umar رضي الله عنه being a prominent example of such praise!
