“A woman brought the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, a
piece of cloth she had woven and said, „I have woven this with my
own hands so that you might wear it.‟ He accepted as he felt in need
of it and later came out wearing it as his loin cloth. Upon seeing it
someone said, „How fine it is. Give it to me to wear.‟ The Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, said, „Very well.‟ Then he sat among
us (the Companions) for a while, then went inside and sent it out
folded to the man. Some of those present said to him, „You did not
do well. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, wore it
because he had need of it, and you asked him for it knowing that he
never refuses a request.‟ He said: „Indeed, I did not ask him for it
that I might wear it. I asked him for it so that it might serve as my
shroud.‟ And indeed when he passed away it served as his shroud.”
Bukhari with a chain up to Sahl the son of Sa'ad who related this.
