Answer
Imam Bukhari, Muslim and others (rahimahumullah) have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 5809, and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1057)
Translation
Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) has narrated:
“I was walking with Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) whilst he was wearing a thick seamed Najrani garment. A Bedouin caught up to him and violently grabbed him by his garment. To such an extent, when I looked at the surface of Rasulullah’s (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) shoulder, the seam of the garment had left an impression due to how severely it was pulled. He then said: “O Muhammad! Order that I be given from the wealth of Allah Ta’ala which is by you!”
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) turned towards him, smiled and then instructed that he be given [some wealth].
