3594. It was narrated that Abu 'Umar, the freed slave of Asmâ', said: "I saw Ibn 'Umar buying a turban that had some markings, then he called for a pair of scissors and cut that off. I entered upon Asmâ' and mentioned that to her, and she said: 'May Abdullâh perish, O girl! Give me the garment of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.' A garment was brought that was hemmed with brocade on the sleeves, necklines and openings (at the front and back)." (Sahih)
