Sahih al-Bukhari 5596 (Book 77, Hadith 40)
we give this to wear?” The people kept silent whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Fetch Um Khalid for me.”
I (Um Khalid) was brought carried (as I was small girl at that time). The Prophet (ﷺ) took the Khamisa in
his hands and made me wear it and said, “May you live so long that your dress will wear out and you
will mend it many times.” On the Khamisa there were some green or pale designs (The Prophet (ﷺ) saw
these designs) and said, “O Um Khalid! This is Sanah.” (Sanah in a Ethiopian word meaning
beautiful).
