It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was in the market of "Dhu al-Majaz." I was wearing a beautiful red and white sheet on my body. Suddenly, a man poked me with his stick and said, "Raise your lower garment, for it lasts longer and remains clean." When I looked, it was the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this is a beautiful sheet." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Even if it is beautiful, is there not an example for you in my person?" And I observed that the lower garment of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was up to the middle of his shins.
