The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 1188 (#Ḥadīth #35)

35- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَمَعَهُ ثَوْبٌ يَبِيعُهُ وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ طَوِيلا وَالثَّوْبُ قَصِيراً فَقَالَ لَهُ اجْلِسْ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْفَقُ لِسِلْعَتِكَ.

35. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, once passed by a man who sold clothes. The man was tall and the cloth was short. He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Sit down; it is more useful for your commodity.”’
