(a) It is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he considered letting the garment hang down in prayer to be disliked (makruh), and he would say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked it.
(b) It is reported from Abu Atiyyah al-Wadi'i that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who had let his garment hang down on both sides in prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of his garment and wrapped it over him. This narration is munqati' (broken).
Only Bishr bin Rafi' narrated the first report, and he is not strong (laysa bil-qawi).
