share in the Hereafter.” Later on Allah’s Apostle got some silken cloaks similar to that one, and he
sent one to ‘Umar. ‘Umar said to the Prophet “How can I wear it, while you said about it what you

‘Umar sent it to his brother at Mecca before he embraced Islam.

it as a present?” He said, “I will sell you (a sheep).” The Prophet bought a sheep and it was

Prophet gave every person of the one-hundred-and-thirty a piece of that; he gave all those of them

two huge basins and all of them ate to their fill, and even then more food was left in the two basins
