٧٨۔ كتاب الأدب
Um Khalid bint Khalid bin Saʿid said, "I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with my father and I was wearing a yellow shirt. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Sanah Sanah!" (ʿAbdullah, the sub-narrator said, "It means, 'Nice, nice!' in the Ethiopian language.") Um Khalid added, "Then I started playing with the seal of Prophethood. My father admonished me. But Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to my father), "Leave her," Messenger of Allah ﷺ (then addressing me) said, "May you live so long that your dress gets worn out, and you will mend it many times, and then wear another till it gets worn out (i.e. May Allah prolong your life)." (The sub-narrator, ʿAbdullah aid, "That garment (which she was wearing remained usable for a long period.").
