A woman brought a woven Burda (sheet) having edging (border) to the Prophet, Then Sahl asked them whether they knew what is Burda, they said that Burda is a cloak and Sahl confirmed their reply. Then the woman said, "I have woven it with my own hands and I have brought it so that you may wear it." The Prophet ﷺ accepted it, and at that time he was in need of it. So he came out wearing it as his waist-sheet. A man praised it and said, "Will you give it to me? How nice it is!" The other people said, "You have not done the right thing as the Prophet ﷺ is in need of it and you have asked for it when you know that he never turns down anybody's request." The man replied, "By Allah, I have not asked for it to wear it but to make it my shroud." Later it was his shroud.  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِبُرْدَةٍ مَنْسُوجَةٍ فِيهَا حَاشِيَتُهَا أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْبُرْدَةُ قَالُوا الشَّمْلَةُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ نَسَجْتُهَا بِيَدِي فَجِئْتُ لأَكْسُوَكَهَا فَأَخَذَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُحْتَاجًا إِلَيْهَا فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا وَإِنَّهَا إِزَارُهُ فَحَسَّنَهَا فُلاَنٌ فَقَالَ اكْسُنِيهَا مَا أَحْسَنَهَا قَالَ الْقَوْمُ مَا أَحْسَنْتَ لَبِسَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُحْتَاجًا إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ سَأَلْتَهُ وَعَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَرُدُّ قَالَ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا سَأَلْتُهُ لأَلْبَسَهَا إِنَّمَا سَأَلْتُهُ لِتَكُونَ كَفَنِي قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَكَانَتْ كَفَنَهُ
