Volume 4 Book 52 Hadith 305

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 305:
Narrated Um Khalid:
(the daughter of Khalid bin Said) I went to Allah’s Apostle with my father and I was Nearing a yel –
low shirt. Allah’s Apostle said, “Sanah, Sanah!” (‘Abdullah, the narrator, said that ‘Sanah’ meant ‘good’
in the Ethiopian language). I then started playing with the seal of Prophethood (in between the
Prophet’s shoulders) and my father rebuked me harshly for that. Allah’s Apostle said. “Leave her,” and
then Allah’s Apostle (invoked Allah to grant me a long life) by saying (thrice), “Wear this dress till it
is worn out and then wear it till it is worn out, and then wear it till it is worn out.” (The narrator
adds, “It is said that she lived for a long period, wearing that (yellow) dress till its color became dark
because of long wear.”)
