6036. Narrated Abū Hāzim : Sahl bin Sa'd said that a woman brought a Burda (sheet) to the Prophet ﷺ. Sahl asked the people, "Do you know what is a Burda?" The people replied, "It is a Shamla, a sheet with a fringe." That woman said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have brought it so that you may wear it." So the Prophet ﷺ took it because he was in need of it and wore it. A man among his Companions, seeing him wearing it, said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Please give it to me to wear." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes" (and gave him that sheet). When the Prophet ﷺ left, the man was blamed by his companions who said, "It was not nice on your part to ask the Prophet ﷺ for it while you know that he took it because he was in need of it, and you also know that he (the Prophet) ﷺ never turns down anybody's request that he might be asked for." That man said, "I just wanted to have its blessings as the Prophet ﷺ had put it on, so I hoped that I might be shrouded in it."

6036 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِبُرْدَةٍ، فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ لِلْقَوْمِ: أَتَدْرُونَ مَا البُرْدَةُ؟ فَقَالَ القَوْمُ: هِيَ الشَّمْلَةُ، فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ: هِيَ شَمْلَةٌ مَنْسُوجَةٌ فِيهَا حَاشِيَتُهَا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَكْسُوكَ هَذِهِ، فَأَخَذَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحْتَاجًا إِلَيْهَا فَلَبِسَهَا، فَرَآهَا عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذِهِ، فَاكْسُنِيهَا، فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ» فَلَمَّا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لاَمَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ، قَالُوا: مَا أَحْسَنْتَ حِينَ رَأَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَهَا مُحْتَاجًا إِلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتَهُ إِيَّاهَا، وَقَدْ عَرَفْتَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُسْأَلُ شَيْئًا فَيَمْنَعَهُ، فَقَالَ: رَجَوْتُ بَرَكَتَهَا حِينَ لَبِسَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَعَلِّي أُكَفَّنُ فِيهَا
