Hadith 1402
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((لَا يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ)) وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: ((عَاتِقِهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: A man should not perform prayer in a single garment in such a way that none of it covers his shoulders.
Hadith 1403
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي ثَوْبٍ فَلْيُخَالِفْ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهِ عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ))
And it is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any one of you prays in a single garment, he should throw its two ends over his shoulders in opposite directions.
Hadith 1404
عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ مَوْلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَطَابِخِ حَتَّى أَتَى الْبِئْرَ وَهُوَ مُتَزَرٌّ بِإِزَارٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ فَرَأَى عِنْدَ الْبِئْرِ عَبِيدًا يُصَلُّونَ، فَحَلَّ الإِزَارَ وَتَوَشَّحَ بِهِ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، لَا أَدْرِي الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ
Sayyiduna Kaysan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) coming out from the place of kitchens and going to the place of the well. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing only an izar (lower garment) and did not have an upper sheet on. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some slaves praying near the place of the well, so he also took off his izar and used it as a covering, and then performed two rak‘ahs. I do not know whether it was Zuhr or ‘Asr.
Hadith 1405
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبِي كَيْسَانَ مَا أَدْرَكْتَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ؟ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْبِئْرِ الْعُلْيَا بِئْرِ بَنِي مُطَيْعٍ مُتَلَبِّبًا فِي ثَوْبٍ الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ فَصَلَّاهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ
(Second Chain) Abdur Rahman bin Kaysan says: I asked my father, Sayyiduna Kaysan (may Allah be pleased with him), what did you find from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: I saw him near the well of Banu Muti’, called Bir Aliya, wrapped in a cloth, performing either the Zuhr or Asr prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed that prayer as two rak’ahs.
Hadith 1406
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُلْتَحِفٌ بِهِ وَرِدَاؤُهُ قَرِيبٌ لَوْ تَنَاوَلَهُ بَلَغَهُ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ سَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَفْعَلُ هَٰذَا لِيَرَانِيَ الْحَمْقَى أَمْثَالُكُمْ فَيُفْشُوا عَلَى جَابِرٍ رُخْصَةً رَخَّصَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ جَابِرٌ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَجِئْتُهُ لَيْلَةً وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَعَلَيَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ فَاشْتَمَلْتُ بِهِ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، قَالَ: ((يَا جَابِرُ! مَا هَٰذَا الِاشْتِمَالُ؟ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ وَعَلَيْكَ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ وَاسِعًا فَالْتَحِفْ بِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ ضَيِّقًا فَاتَّزِرْ بِهِ))
Saeed bin Harith says: We entered upon Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was wrapped in a single garment and performing prayer, even though his upper sheet was so close to him that if he wanted to grab it, he could have. Anyway, when he finished the prayer with salam, we asked him about this clothing, so he said: I have done this only so that fools like you may see me and spread talk about such a concession for Jabir which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had permitted. Then Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and when I came to him at night during the journey, he was praying in a single garment, and I too had only one garment, so I wrapped it around myself and stood on his side. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jabir! What is this wrapping? When you pray in such a state that you have only one garment, if it is wide, then cover yourself with it, and if the garment is tight, then tie it as an izar (lower garment) only.
Hadith 1407
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: صَلِّ بِنَا كَمَا رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي، فَصَلَّى بِنَا فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَشَدَّهُ تَحْتَ الثَّدْيَيْنِ
Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil says that I said to Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead us in prayer in the manner in which you saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the prayer. So he led us in prayer wearing a single garment, while his garment was tied below the area of the chest.
Hadith 1408
عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ الرِّجَالَ عَاقِدِي أَزُرِهِمْ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ أَمْثَالَ الصِّبْيَانِ مِنْ ضِيقِ الإِزَارِ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ! لَا تَرْفَعْنَ رُؤُوسَكُنَّ حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ الرِّجَالُ
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw men in prayer following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), tying their lower garments around their necks like children because their izars were tight. Someone said: O group of women! Do not raise your heads until the men have raised theirs.
Hadith 1409
عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ (بِنْتِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهَا رَأَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ مُخَالِفًا بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهِ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ بِمَكَّةَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ) فَصَلَّى الضُّحَى ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Hani bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) that she saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah on the day of conquest, having draped the two ends of a cloth over his shoulders in opposite directions, performing eight rak‘ahs. And in another narration: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed eight rak‘ahs of the Duha (forenoon) prayer.
