English translation
2093. Narrated Abū Hāzim: I heard Sahl bin Sa'd رضي الله عنه saying, "A woman brought a Burda (i.e., a square piece of cloth having frills). I asked, 'Do you know what a Burda is?' They replied in the affirmative and said, 'It is a cloth sheet with woven margins.'" Sahl went on, "She addressed the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'I have woven it with my hands for you to wear.' The Prophet ﷺ took it as he was in need of it, and came to us wearing it as a waist sheet. A man from those (who were present there) said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! Give it to me to wear.' The Prophet ﷺ agreed to give it to him. The Prophet ﷺ sat with the people for a while and then returned (home), wrapped that waist sheet and sent it to him. The people said to that man, 'You have not done well by asking him for it when you know that he never turns down anybody's request.' The man replied, 'By Allāh, I have not asked him for it except to use it as my shroud when I die.'" Sahl added; "Later it (i.e., that sheet) was his shroud."
