Hadith 11995
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ خَالِدٍ بِنْتِ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِكِسْوَةٍ فِيهَا خَمِيصَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ، فَقَالَ: ”مَنْ تَرَوْنَ أَحَقَّ بِهَذِهِ؟“ فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ: ”ائْتُونِي بِأُمِّ خَالِدٍ.“ فَأُتِيَ بِهَا فَأَلْبَسَهَا إِيَّاهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ: ”أَبْلِي وَأَخْلِقِي.“ وَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَلَمٍ فِي الْخَمِيصَةِ أَحْمَرَ أَوْ أَصْفَرَ وَيَقُولُ: ”سَنَا سَنَا يَا أُمَّ خَالِدٍ.“ وَسَنَا فِي كَلَامِ الْحَبَشِ الْحَسَنُ.
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Khalid bint Khalid bin Sa'id bin 'As (may Allah be pleased with her) that some clothes were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), among which was a small woolen sheet. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who do you consider most deserving of this sheet? The Companions remained silent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring Umm Khalid to me. So she was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he made her wear that cloth and said twice: Wear it out, wear it out (i.e., may you live long and use it for a long time). And he looked carefully at the red or yellow marks on that sheet and said: Umm Khalid! Very good, very good. The word "Sanaah" mentioned in the hadith is from the Abyssinian language, and in Arabic it means excellent, good, and best.
