Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8542

عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ : ذُكِرَ نِسَاءُ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَا يُدْلِينَ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ ؟ قَالَ : " شِبْرًا " فَقُلْنَ : شِبْرٌ قَلِيلٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْعَوْرَةُ قَالَ : " فَذِرَاعًا " قُلْنَ : تَبْدُو أَقْدَامُهُنَّ قَالَ : " ذِرَاعًا لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ " .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحِوَارِيِّ الْعَمِّيُّ ، وَقَدْ وُثِّقَ ، وَضَعَّفَهُ أَكْثَرُ الْأَئِمَّةِ .
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Mention was made of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and how much of their garments they may let hang down. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A hand-span. Those wives submitted: A hand-span is little; the parts that must be covered will be exposed by it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A forearm's length (dhira'). They submitted: In that case the feet will show. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A forearm's length; no more than that.
Al-Bazzar recorded it. Its chain contains Zayd bin al-Hawari al-Ammi, who has been declared trustworthy, but most of the imams declared him da'if (weak).
