Riyad as-Salihin, 801
Mu`adh bin Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever gives up wearing elegant and expensive garments out of humbleness, when he can do so, Allah will call him on the Day of Resurrection, before all of creation, He will give him the choice to wear whichever garment of Iman he would like to wear." <b>[At-Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعن معاذ بن أنس رضى الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
من ترك اللباس تواضعاً لله، وهو يقدر عليه، دعاه الله يوم القيامة على رؤوس الخلائق حتى يخيره من أي حلل الإيمان شاء يلبسها
.((رواه الترمذي))

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) A person should wear clothing that suits the situation. If he is in the gathering of people wearing simple clothing, it is incumbent upon him to give up elegant clothes out of humility before Allah Almighty and being considerate of the feelings of those around him. But if he is in the company of rich and elegantly-dressed people, he can wear similar clothes.<br>
2) Allah Almighty undertakes to adorn those who abandon adornment out of humbleness to Him and renouncement of worldly pleasures. Verily, the reward is of the same type of the deed.
