Aisha brought out to us a Kisa and an Izar and said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) died while wearing these two.”
(Kisa, a square black piece of woolen cloth. Izar, a sheet cloth garment covering the lower half of the
body).

The most beloved garment to the Prophet (ﷺ) to wear was the Hibra (a kind of Yemenese cloth).

(the wife of the Prophet) When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) died, he was covered with a Hibra Burd (green square
decorated garment).

When the disease of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) got aggravated, he covered his face with a Khamisa, but when he
became short of breath, he would remove it from his face and say, “It is like that! May Allah curse the
Jews Christians because they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship.” By that he
warned his follower of imitating them, by doing that which they did.

Shahl bin Sa`d said, “A lady came with a Burda. Sahl then asked (the people), “Do you know what
Burda is?” Somebody said, “Yes. it is a Shamla with a woven border.” Sahl added, “The lady said, ‘O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I have knitted this (Burda) with my own hands for you to wear it.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
took it and he was in need of it. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came out to us and he was wearing it as an Izar. A
man from the people felt it and said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Give it to me to wear.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) s said,
‘Yes.’ Then he sat there for some time (and when he went to his house), he folded it and sent it to him.
The people said to that man, ‘You have not done a right thing. You asked him for it, though you know
that he does not put down anybody’s request.’ The man said, ‘By Allah! I have only asked him so that
it may be my shroud when I die.” Sahl added, “Late it was his shroud.”

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying “From among my followers, a group (o 70,000) will enter Paradise
without being asked for their accounts, Their faces will be shining like the moon.” ‘Ukasha bin
Muhsin Al-Asadi got up, lifting his covering sheet and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) Invoke Allah for me
that He may include me with them.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said! “O Allah! Make him from them.” Then another
man from Al-Ansar got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah for me that He may include me
with them.” On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “‘Ukasha has anticipated you.”

I asked Anas, “What kind of clothes was most beloved to the Prophet?” He replied, “The Hibra (a kind
of Yemenese cloth).

In the year of the conquest of Mecca the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Mecca, wearing a helmet on his head.

Once I was walking with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and he was wearing a Najram Burd with thick margin. A
bedouin followed him and pulled his Burd so violently that I noticed the side of the shoulder of
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) affected by the margin of the Burd because of that violent pull. The Bedouin said, “O
Muhammad! Give me some of Allah’s wealth which is with you.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) turned and looked
at him, and smiling, ‘he ordered that he be given something.

Some Muslim men emigrated to Ethiopia whereupon Abu Bakr also prepared himself for the
emigration, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), “Wait, for I hope that Allah will allow me also to emigrate.”
Abu Bakr said, “Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. Do you hope that (emigration)?” The
Prophet said, ‘Yes.” So Abu Bakr waited to accompany the Prophet (ﷺ) and fed two she-camels he had on
the leaves of As-Samur tree regularly for four months One day while we were sitting in our house at
midday, someone said to Abu Bakr, “Here is Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), coming with his head and a part of his
face covered with a cloth-covering at an hour he never used to come to us.”
Abu Bakr said, “Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you, (O Prophet)! An urgent matter must
have brought you here at this hour.” The Prophet (ﷺ) came and asked the permission to enter, and he was
allowed. The Prophet (ﷺ) entered and said to Abu Bakr, “Let those who are with you, go out.” Abu Bakr
replied, “(There is no stranger); they are your family. Let my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah’s
Apostle!”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I have been allowed to leave (Mecca).” Abu Bakr said, ” I shall accompany you, O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), Let my father be sacrificed for you!”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Yes,”
Abu Bakr said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)s! Let my father be sacrificed for you. Take one of these two shecamels
of mine” The Prophet (ﷺ) said. I will take it only after paying its price.”
So we prepared their baggage and put their journey food In a leather bag. And Asma’ bint Abu Bakr
cut a piece of her girdle and tied the mouth of the leather bag with it. That is why she was called Dhatan-
Nitaqaln. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr went to a cave in a mountain called Thour and remained
there for three nights. `Abdullah bin Abu Bakr. who was a young intelligent man. used to stay with
them at night and leave before dawn so that in the morning, he would he with the Quraish at Mecca as
if he had spent the night among them. If he heard of any plot contrived by the Quraish against the
Prophet and Abu Bakr, he would understand it and (return to) inform them of it when it became dark.
‘Amir bin Fuhaira, the freed slave of Abu Bakr used to graze a flock of milch sheep for them and he
used to take those sheep to them when an hour had passed after the `Isha prayer. They would sleep
soundly till ‘Amir bin Fuhaira awakened them when it was still dark. He used to do that in each of
those three nights.
