took it, wore it, and came out to us with it wrapped around his blessed waist.

One of the Companions رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ saw it and said, "What a nice shawl! Please give it to me." The most Generous Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, "Yes." After a while, he returned, sent the shawl to the Companion, and said, "Wear it." The Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم said to him, "You did not do well. You knew that the most Generous Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never refuses anyone." The Companion رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ replied, "By Allah Almighty! I only asked for it so that it would be my shroud when I die." Hazrat Sahl bin Sa'd  رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُnarrates that it indeed became his shroud when he died.^[1]

Generosity after apparent passing

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you hear? Allah Almighty granted the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم keys to all His treasures. Yet, the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم does not keep anything for himself but distributes everything.

Even after his apparent passing, he continues to shower his blessings upon his distressed Ummah. If anyone thinks that the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has left this world and can no longer assist those in need; remember that all the prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام are alive in their graves. Ala Hazrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه says:

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and all the prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام are alive with a true, worldly, spiritual, and physical life in their blessed graves. They perform prayers, are provided with sustenance, go wherever they wish, and have authority over the realms of the heavens and the earth.
