“…‘Whom do you think we should dress in this little black cloak?’
The people kept silent, so he said, ‘Bring Umm Khalid to me.’ I was brought to the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—who put it on me and said, ‘May you wear it and wear it out,’ twice. He then began to look at the patterns on the cloak, pointing them out to me with his hand and saying, ‘O Umm Khalid, this is sana.’ In the Abyssinian tongue sana means ‘beautiful.’ She kept it until it finally faded.”

“Abu Yazid ʿAmr ibn Akhtab al-Ansari reported: The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said to me, ‘Come closer.’ He then passed his hand over my head and beard and prayed, ‘O Allah, beautify him and keep his beauty enduring.’”
