Musnad Ahmad 1171
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُلَّةٌ سِيَرَاءُ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا قَالَ فَأَمَرَنِي فَأَطَرْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي‏.‏
It was narrated that Abu Salih said:

I heard ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: A suit of silk was given to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he sent it to me. I went out wearing it, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was so angry that I could see anger on his face. He said: “I did not give it to you to wear it.” Then he told me to divide it among my womenfolk.
