Some garments were brought to the Prophet ﷺ, among which was a small black cloak. He asked, "Who do you think we should clothe with this?"The people remained silent.He said, "Bring Umm Khalid to me."She was brought, carried in someone's arms. He took the cloak in his hand and dressed her in it, saying, "Wear it out and make it old."It had green or yellow markings on it, and he said, "Umm Khalid, this is sanah, sanah." Sanah in Abyssinian means beautiful.
أتي النبي ﷺ بثياب فيها خميصة سوداء صغيرة، فقال: من ترون أن نكسو هذه فسكت القوم، قال: ائتوني بأم خالد فأتي بها تحمل، فأخذ الخميصة بيده فألبسها، وقال: أبلي وأخلقي وكان فيها علم أخضر أو أصفر، فقال: يا أم خالد، هذا سناه وسناه بالحبشية حسن.
Bukhari narrated it in the chapter on clothing (5823), from Abu Naeem, who said, Ishaq bin Saeed narrated to us, from his father Saeed bin so-and-so, who is Amr bin Saeed bin As, from Umm Khalid bint Khalid. And he related it.His words, "so she was brought carried" the Hafiz said, this indicates her young age at that time, but that does not prevent her from being of an age to understand things at that point.His words, "wear it out and wear it out" the command to wear it out (abli) and to wear it out (akhliqi) carry the same meaning, and the Arabs use this expression intending to pray for the long life of the person being addressed, meaning that her life would be long enough for the garment itself to become worn and threadbare. In another narration it appears as "wakhlifi" with a fa instead of a qaf. The Hafiz said, this is more fitting, because the first wording necessarily implies mere repetition, while the second conveys an additional meaning, namely that whenever she wears one garment out, she will be given another to replace it.See Fath al-Bari (10/280).
