Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha said, "Anas ibn Malik said, 'I saw Umar ibn al-Khattab when he

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar
that Umar ibn al-Khattab saw a silk robe at the door of the mosque. He
said, "Messenger of Allah, would you buy this robe and wear it on
jumua and when envoys come to you?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Only a person who has no portion
in the next world wears this." Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was brought some robes of the same
material and gave Umar ibn al-Khattab one of the robes. Umar said,
"Messenger of Allah, do you clothe me in it when you said what you
said about the robe of Utarid?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "I did not give it to you to
wear." Umar gave it to a brother of his in Makka who was still an
idolater.

heard Anas ibn Malik say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, was not excessively tall or short. He was not
very pallid nor dark. He did not have curly hair or lank hair. Allah
commissioned him at the age of forty. He stayed in Makka ten years and
at Madina for ten years and Allah the Mighty, the Majestic made him
die when he was sixty. There were not twenty white hairs in his hair
or beard, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
