Ibn 'Umar narrated that:
'Umar went out and saw a Hullah of Al-Istabraq being offered for sale in the marketplace. He went to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and said: O Messenger of Allah, buy this and wear it on Fridays, and when the delegations come to you. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: This is only worn by the one who has no share (in the Hereafter). Then three Hullahs (of the same fabric) were brought to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he gave one to 'Umar, one to 'Ali and one to Usamah. He ('Umar) came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, you said what you said about it, then you sent one to me! He said: Sell it and spend the money on your needs, or cut it into pieces for your womenfolk to use as head covers.
