‘Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever wears a new garment, and lives a praiseworthy life, and dies a martyr, and is saved from the trials of the grave, and is saved from the Fire, and his Lord looks at him with a look of mercy, he will not be punished for any of his sins. Whoever wears a new garment, and eats a praiseworthy meal, and lives a praiseworthy life, and dies a martyr, and is saved from the trials of the grave, and is saved from the Fire, and his Lord looks at him with a look of mercy, he will not be punished for any of his sins.
