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.
