Sahih al-Bukhari Book 34, Hadith 46
I heard Sahl bin Sa`d saying, "A woman brought a Burda (i.e. a square piece of cloth having edging). I
asked, 'Do you know what a Burda is?' They replied in the affirmative and said, "It is a cloth sheet
with woven margins." Sahl went on, "She addressed the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'I have woven it with my
hands for you to wear.' The Prophet (ﷺ) took it as he was in need of it, and came to us wearing it as a
waist sheet. One of us said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Give it to me to wear.' The Prophet (ﷺ) agreed to give it to
him. The Prophet (ﷺ) sat with the people for a while and then returned (home), wrapped that waist sheet
and sent it to him. The people said to that man, 'You haven't done well by asking him for it when you
know that he never turns down anybody's request.' The man replied, 'By Allah, I have not asked him
for it except to use it as my shroud when I die." Sahl added; "Later it (i.e. that sheet) was his shroud."
I heard Anas bin Malik saying, "A tailor invited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to a meal which he had prepared. " Anas bin Malik said, "I accompanied Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to that meal. He served the Prophet (ﷺ) with bread and soup made with gourd and dried meat. I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) taking the pieces of gourd from the dish." Anas added, "Since that day I have continued to like gourd."
Some men came to Sahl bin Sa`d to ask him about the pulpit. He replied, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent for a woman (Sahl named her) (this message): 'Order your slave carpenter to make pieces of wood (i.e. a pulpit) for me so that I may sit on it while addressing the people.' So, she ordered him to make it from the tamarisk of the forest. He brought it to her and she sent it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered it to be placed in the mosque: so, it was put and he sat on it.
