===Muhammad wears Aisha's garment===
===Muhammad wears Aisha's garment/dress===
In the following hadith, Muhammad says divine inspirations do not come to him in any garment/dress (ثَوْبِ) except that of Aisha. Cross-dressing was condemned by Muhammad as can be seen in {{Abudawud||4098|hasan}}. To cover up the fact that Muhammad was cross-dressing, the word in question has been mistranslated to bed.
