(a) Awn bin Abi Juhayfah narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who had let his garment hang down in prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrapped that garment over him.
(b) Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also considered it disliked (makruh).
However, Hafs (bin Abi Dawud al-Qari) is da'if (weak) in hadith. We have also written it from the hadith of Ibrahim bin Tahman from al-Haytham; if that is preserved (mahfuz), it is better than the narration of Hafs al-Qari.
