أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي
عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قال : مَرَرْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي إِزَارِي اسْتِرْخَاءٌ ، فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ : " ارْفَعْ إِزَارَكَ ، فَرَفَعْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ : زِدْ ، فَزِدْتُ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَتَحَرَّاهَا بَعْدُ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ : إِلَى أَيْنَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : أَنْصَافِ السَّاقَيْنِ " .
Ibn 'Umar reported: I happened to pass before Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon bin) with my lower garment trailing (upon the ground). He said: 'Abdullah, tug up your lower garment,I tugged it up, and he again said: Tug it still further, and I tugged it still further and I went on tugging it afterward, whereupon some of the people said: To what extent? Thereupon he said: To the middle of the shanks.
