It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman brought a woven bordered sheet to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) asked his companions,“Do you know what a ‘burdah’ is?”They replied,“Yes, it is called a sheet.”He said,“Yes, that is correct.”She said,“O Messenger of Allah! I have woven this sheet with my own hands and have brought it so that I may present it to you for your wearing.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked it and accepted it, then he wore it and came to us. Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned a man by name who touched the sheet and said,“How excellent this sheet is! O Messenger of Allah! Please give it to me.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Alright.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went inside, folded the sheet, and sent it to him. The people said to him,“By Allah! You did not do a good thing. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was given this sheet to wear, and he liked it, but you asked him for it, while you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) does not turn away any petitioner empty-handed.”He said,“By Allah! I did not ask for this sheet to wear it. I only asked for it so that when I die, it will be my shroud.”Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When he died, that sheet was made his shroud.
