1277. Narrated Sahl رضي الله عنه: A woman brought a woven Burda (sheet) having frilled border to the Prophet ﷺ. Then Sahl رضي الله عنه asked them whether they knew what is Burda, they said that Burda is a cloak and Sahl confirmed their reply. Then the woman said, "I have woven it with my own hands and I have brought it so that you may wear it." The Prophet ﷺ accepted it, and at that time he was in need of it. So he (ﷺ) came out wearing it as his waist-sheet. A man praised it and said, "Will you give it to me? How nice it is!" The other people said, "You have not done the right thing as the Prophet ﷺ is in need of it and you have asked for it when you know that he never turns down anybody's request." The man replied, "By Allāh, I have not asked for it to wear it but to make it my shroud." Later he was shrouded in it.

1277 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: «أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِبُرْدَةٍ مَنْسُوجَةٍ، فِيهَا حَاشِيَتُهَا»، أَتَدْرُونَ مَا البُرْدَةُ؟ قَالُوا: الشَّمْلَةُ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَتْ: نَسَجْتُهَا بِيَدِي فَجِئْتُ لِأَكْسُوَكَهَا، «فَأَخَذَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحْتَاجًا إِلَيْهَا، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا وَإِنَّهَا إِزَارُهُ»، فَحَسَّنَهَا فُلاَنٌ، فَقَالَ: اكْسُنِيهَا، مَا أَحْسَنَهَا، قَالَ القَوْمُ: مَا أَحْسَنْتَ، لَبِسَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحْتَاجًا إِلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتَهُ، وَعَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَرُدُّ، قَالَ: إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ، مَا سَأَلْتُهُ لِأَلْبَسَهُ، إِنَّمَا سَأَلْتُهُ لِتَكُونَ كَفَنِي، قَالَ سَهْلٌ: فَكَانَتْ كَفَنَهُ
