Then he -asws recited [7:32] Say: Who has prohibited the adornments of Allah which He has Brought forth for His servants and the good provisions? And we -asws are the most rightful of taking from it what Allah -azwj has Granted it, besides I -asws , O Sowry, what you see upon me -asws from the clothes, rather I -asws wear it for the people’.
ثُمَّ اجْتَذَبَ يَدَ سُفْيَانَ فَجَرَّهَا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ الثَّوْبَ الْأَعْلَى وَ أَخْرَجَ ثَوْباً تَحْتَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى جِلْدِهِ غَلِيظاً فَقَالَ هَذَا أَلْبَسُهُ لِنَفْسِي وَ مَا رَأَيْتَهُ لِلنَّاسِ ثُمَّ جَذَبَ ثَوْباً عَلَى سُفْيَانَ أَعْلَاهُ غَلِيظٌ خَشِنٌ وَ دَاخِلُ ذَلِكَ ثَوْبٌ لَيِّنٌ فَقَالَ لَبِسْتَ هَذَا الْأَعْلَى لِلنَّاسِ وَ لَبِسْتَ هَذَا لِنَفْسِكَ تَسُرُّهَا. Then he -asws drew the hand of Sufyan, so he -asws brought it towards himself -asws .
Then he -asws raised his upper garment, and there was a cloth beneath that, upon his -asws skin, which was rough. So he -asws said: ‘This, I -asws wear it for myself -asws , and what you see is for the people’ . Then he -asws drew the upper clothing of Sufyan which was rough, coarse, and inside that was a smooth cloth. So, he -asws said: ‘You wear this outer garment for the people, and you wear this for yourself, delighting in it’.

He said, ‘By Allah -azwj ! I will go to him -asws and rebuke him -asws ’. So he approached him -asws . He said, ‘O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww ! Rasool-Allah -saww did not wear the likes of these clothes, nor did Ali -asws , nor did anyone (else) from your -asws forefathers’.
