Safwan bin Umayyah was sleeping in the mosque, then a man came to him while he was also sleeping. He took his cloak from under his head and woke him up. Safwan caught up with him and took it back, then he went to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I was sleeping in the mosque and this man came to me and took my cloak from under my head. I caught up with him and took it back. He ordered for it to be cut, so Safwan said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, my cloak has not reached the point where it should be cut." He said, "Why didn't you accept it before bringing it to me?"  

كَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ وَهُوَ نَائِمٌ فَاسْتَلَّ رِدَاءَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِهِ فَتَنَبَّهَ بِهِ فَلَحِقَهُ فَأَخَذَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ نَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَتَانِي هَذَا فَاسْتَلَّ رِدَائِي مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِي فَلَحِقْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَفْوَانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ رِدَائِي لَمْ يَبْلُغْ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ فِيهِ هَذَا قَالَ «فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ؟»
