5823. Narrated Umm Khālid bint Khālid: The Prophet ﷺ was given some clothes including a black Khamīṣa. The Prophet ﷺ said, "To whom shall we give this to wear?" The people kept silent whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "Fetch Umm Khālid for me" I (Umm Khālid) was brought carried (as I was a small girl at that time). The Prophet ﷺ took the Khamīṣa in his hands and made me wear it and said, "May you live so long that your dress will wear out and you will mend it many times." On the Khamīṣa there were some green or pale designs. (The Prophet ﷺ saw these designs) and said, "O Umm Khālid! This is Sanāh." (Sanāh is an Ethiopian word meaning beautiful).

5823 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ فُلاَنٍ هُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ العَاصِ، عَنْ أُمِّ خَالِدٍ بِنْتِ خَالِدٍ: أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثِيَابٍ فِيهَا خَمِيصَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ صَغِيرَةٌ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ تَرَوْنَ أَنْ نَكْسُوَ هَذِهِ» فَسَكَتَ القَوْمُ، قَالَ: «ائْتُونِي بِأُمِّ خَالِدٍ» فَأُتِيَ بِهَا تُحْمَلُ، فَأَخَذَ الخَمِيصَةَ بِيَدِهِ فَأَلْبَسَهَا، وَقَالَ: «أَبْلِي وَأَخْلِقِي» وَكَانَ فِيهَا عَلَمٌ أَخْضَرُ أَوْ أَصْفَرُ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أُمَّ خَالِدٍ، هَذَا سَنَاهْ» وَسَنَاهْ بِالحَبَشِيَّةِ حَسَنٌ
