قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لِعُبَيْدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ إِظْهَارُ النِّعْمَةِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ صِيَانَتِهَا فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَتَزَيَّنَ إِلَّا فِي أَحْسَنِ زِيِّ قَوْمِكَ قَالَ فَمَا رُئِيَ عُبَيْدٌ إِلَّا فِي أَحْسَنِ زِيِّ قَوْمِهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to Ubeyd Bin Ziiyad: ‘Manifestation of the Bounty is more beloved to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> than its maintenance, so beware that you should not be outfitting except in the best of outfits of your people’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Ubdeyd was not seen except in the best of outfits of his people until he died’.
