Miswar bin Makhrama reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) distributed some cloaks but did not bestow one upon Makhrama. Upon this Makhrama said: O my son, come along with me to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . So I went with him. He said: Enter the house and call him (to come out) for me. So I called him and he (the Holy Prophet) came out, and there was a cloak (from those already distributed) on him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: I had kept it for you. He (Makhrama), looked at it and was pleased.

Miswar bin Makhrama reported: Some cloaks were presented to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . My father Makhrama said to me: Come along with me to him; perhaps we may be able to get anything out of that (stock of cloaks). My father stood at the door and began to talk. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) recognised him by his voice and came out and there was a cloak with him, and he was showing its beauties and saying: I kept it for you, I kept it for you.
