Musnad of Umm Salamah, wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 6977 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The hem
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «ذَيْلُ النِّسَاءِ شِبْرٌ» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَخْرُجُ قَدَمَاهَا قَالَ: «فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ»
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The hem of women's garments should be (below the ankles by) a hand-span." I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! In that case their feet will be exposed." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then a forearm's length (let them lower it), and let them not increase it beyond that."
