Anas said: “The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was feeling ill, so he came out leaning on Usama ibn Zaid wearing an outer garment of coarse cotton fabric, which he had thrown on loosely, after which he led them in the ritual prayer.”

Al-Fadl ibn Abbas said: "I went in to see Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) during his illness in which he died, and on his head there was a yellow band. I greeted him with the salutation of peace, so he said: 'O Fadl!”'I said: 'Doubly at your service, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'Wrap my head firmly with this band!' I acted accordingly, then he sat and placed the palm of his hand on my shoulder. Then he stood up and entered the mosque.” (This tradition is part of a longer story.)
