It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade two types of clothing: from tying a knot at the end of a garment and from wrapping a cloth around oneself in such a way that nothing covers a man's private parts from it.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … What is meant by اِشْتِمَالُالصَّمَّائ? Hafiz Ibn Hajar said: The linguists say: It is when a person wraps a garment around his body in such a way that he neither lifts any part of it to any side, nor does he leave enough space for his hand to come out. Ibn Qutaybah said: The reason for calling it "samma’" is that its form closes off all openings, thus it becomes like a solid rock in which there is no opening.
