I heard Sahl bin Sa`d saying, "A woman brought a Burda (i.e. a square piece of cloth having edging). Iasked, 'Do you know what a Burda is?' They replied in the affirmative and said, "It is a cloth sheetwith woven margins." Sahl went on, "She addressed the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'I have woven it with myhands for you to wear.' The Prophet (ﷺ) took it as he was in need of it, and came to us wearing it as awaist sheet. One of us said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Give it to me to wear.' The Prophet (ﷺ) agreed to give it tohim. The Prophet (ﷺ) sat with the people for a while and then returned (home), wrapped that waist sheetand sent it to him. The people said to that man, 'You haven't done well by asking him for it when youknow that he never turns down anybody's request.' The man replied, 'By Allah, I have not asked himfor it except to use it as my shroud when I die." Sahl added; "Later it (i.e. that sheet) was his shroud."
