Narrated Abu Burda:

`Aisha brought out to us a patched wool Len garment, and she said, "(It chanced that) the soul of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was taken away while he was wearing this." Abu-Burda added, "Aisha brought out to us a thick waist sheet like the ones made by the Yemenites, and also a garment of the type called Al- Mulabbada."

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ أَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيْنَا عَائِشَةُ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ كِسَاءً مُلَبَّدًا وَقَالَتْ فِي هَذَا نُزِعَ رُوحُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏ وَزَادَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ قَالَ أَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيْنَا عَائِشَةُ إِزَارًا غَلِيظًا مِمَّا يُصْنَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ، وَكِسَاءً مِنْ هَذِهِ الَّتِي يَدْعُونَهَا الْمُلَبَّدَةَ‏.‏

The Prophet ﷺ was ascetic in his life and totally detached from its pleasures, despite all the spoils and wealth Allah had granted him, as he was focused only on the Hereafter. He ﷺ set for us a great example in abstaining from worldly pleasures and sufficing with the minimum. In this hadeeth, Aboo Burdah ibn Aboo Moosa al-Ash’aree reports that ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, brought out a Kisaa Mulabbad i.e. a patched garment or a patched thick sheet. It is said that it is a garment that becomes thick from the middle, and it appearsthe term is only used in reference to garments made of wool. She (may Allah be pleased with her) told them that the Prophet ﷺ was wearing it at the time his blessed soul departed his noble body. The Prophet ﷺ used to wear with this garment a thick waist sheet made in Yemen to cover his private body parts and lower half. The reason the Prophet ﷺ wore these types of garments could be due to his humility and intent to abstain from living a soft life. It is possible that he ﷺ did it without intending it, since he would wear whatever was available for him. The hadeeth shows how the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were so keen on keeping the relics of the Prophet ﷺ and benefitting from them in educating people. .
