(2) The statement: Allah loves to see the trace of His blessing on His servant: It is said in Radd Al-Muhtar: Know that some clothing is recommended, which is that which exceeds for the purpose of adornment and displaying Allah’s blessing. He (ﷺ) said: Allah loves to see the trace of His blessing on His servant. Permissible is the beautiful garment for adornment during Eids, Fridays, and gatherings of people, not at all times, because that is arrogance and pride, and it may provoke the needy, so avoiding it is better. In Al-Hindiyya, from As-Sirajiyya: Wearing beautiful clothes is permissible if one does not become arrogant, meaning he remains as he was before wearing them. It is said in Al-Marqah: If you say: Did he not encourage simplicity? I say: He encouraged it so that one does not abandon it when needed and does not burden himself with extravagant clothes, as is observed in people’s habits, even among scholars and Sufis. But for one who makes it a habit and custom despite having the ability for new and clean clothes, no, because that is meanness and baseness.

(٢) قوله: إن اللّٰه يحب أن يرى أثر نعمته على عبده: وقال في (رد المحتار): اعلم أن الكسوة منها مستحب: وهو الزائدلأخذ الزينة وإظهار نعمة اللّٰه تعالى. قال صلي الله عليه واله وسلم ( إن اللّٰه يحب أن يرى أثر نعمته على عبده. ومباح: وهو الثوب الجميلللتزين في الأعياد والجُمَع ومجامع الناس لا في جميع الأوقات؛ لأنه صلف وخيلاء، وربما يغيظ المحتاجين فالتحرزعنه أولى. وفي (لهندية) عن (السراجية): لبس الثياب الجميلة مباح إذا لم يتكبر، وتفسيره أن يكون معها كما كان قبلهااه. وقال في (المرقاة): فإن قلت: أليس أنه حث على البذاذة؟ قلت: إنما حث عليها؛ لئلا يعدل عنها عند الحاجة، ولايتكلف للثياب المتكلفة، كما هو مشاهد في عادة الناس حتى في العلماء والمتصوفة، فأما من اتخذ ذلك ديدنا وعادة معالقدرة على الجديد والنظافة فلا؛ لأنه خسة ودناءة.
