WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī that Umm Khālid bint Khālid
said, “Several garments were brought to the Messenger of Allah, one of which was a black shirt. He
asked: ‘To whom do you think we should give this shirt to wear?’ Those present said nothing. He said: ‘Bring me Umm Khālid.’ I was brought to the Messenger of Allah
and he clothed me in it with his hand, and said: ‘Wear it and wear it out’ twice. [1].

Ablī wa akhliqī.
We relate in the books of Ibn Mājah and Ibn as-Sunnī that Ibn ‘Umar
narrated that the Messenger of Allah
saw a garment on ‘Umar and asked: “Is this new or washed?” He said: “It is washed.” So he
said: “Wear new things, live laudably, and die as a shahīd, blessedly.” [2].
Albis jadīdā, wa ‘ish ḥamīdā, wa mut shahīdan sa‘īdā.
