Hadith 4096

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ أَنَّهُ ، رَأَى ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَأْتَزِرُ ، فَيَضَعُ حَاشِيَةَ إِزَارِهِ مِنْ مُقَدَّمِهِ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ وَيَرْفَعُ مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِهِ ، قُلْتُ : لِمَ تَأْتَزِرُ هَذِهِ الْإِزْرَةَ ؟ قَالَ : " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتَزِرُهَا " .
Ikrimah said that he saw Ibn Abbas putting on lower garment, letting the hem on the top of his foot and raising it behind. He said: Why do you put on the lower garment in this way? He replied: It is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do it.

Benefits and Issues:
The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) would follow even the general habits of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), whereas the condition of the people of this age is such that, despite openly opposing clear Islamic rulings and commands, they still consider themselves to be of the highest rank among the believers.
