Those who disliked letting the garment hang (sadl) in prayer

Sa'id bin Wahb said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saw some people praying with their garments hanging down loosely (sadl). He said: They look like Jews coming out from their festival.

Ibrahim disliked sadl in prayer. (Ibn al-Athir says in al-Nihayah (2/355) that sadl means wrapping oneself in a garment in such a way that one puts one's hands inside it and bows and prostrates like that. According to another view, sadl means placing the middle of the lower wrap (izar) on the head and letting its ends hang down to the right and left instead of placing them on the shoulders.)

Mujahid said: Sadl in prayer is disliked.

Nafi' said: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) disliked sadl in prayer in order to differ from the Jews, and said: The Jews let their garments hang down during worship.

Mujahid disliked sadl in prayer.

Ibrahim and Mujahid both disliked sadl in prayer.

The same is reported from Mujahid through another chain: they both disliked sadl in prayer.

Waki' said: We too consider it disliked.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade sadl in prayer.
