وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، مَخْرَمَةَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا بُنَىَّ إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدِمَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَقْبِيَةٌ فَهْوَ يَقْسِمُهَا، فَاذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَذَهَبْنَا فَوَجَدْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي مَنْزِلِهِ، فَقَالَ لِي يَا بُنَىَّ ادْعُ لِي النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَعْظَمْتُ ذَلِكَ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَدْعُو لَكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا بُنَىَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِجَبَّارٍ‏.‏ فَدَعَوْتُهُ فَخَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ قَبَاءٌ مِنْ دِيبَاجٍ مُزَرَّرٌ بِالذَّهَبِ، فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا مَخْرَمَةُ هَذَا خَبَأْنَاهُ لَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ‏.‏

English Translation

Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:

My father, Makhrama said to me, "I have come to know that some cloaks have come to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he is distributing them. So O my son! take me to him." We went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and found him in the house. My father said to me, "O my son! Call the Prophet (ﷺ) for me." I found it hard to do so, so I said surprisingly, "Shall I call Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for you ?" My father said, "O mu son! He is not a tyrant." So I called him and he came out wearing a Dibaj cloak having gold buttons, and said: "O Makhrama, I kept this for you." The Prophet (ﷺ) then gave it to him.
