حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْمُلَائِيُّ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِذَا أَرَادَ الْحَاجَةَ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ ثَوْبَهُ حَتَّى يَدْنُوَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَكَذَا رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، وَرَوَى وَكِيعٌ , وَأَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْحَاجَةَ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ ثَوْبَهُ حَتَّى يَدْنُوَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ " . وَكِلَا الْحَدِيثَيْنِ مُرْسَلٌ ، وَيُقَالُ : لَمْ يَسْمَعْ الْأَعْمَشُ مِنْ أَنَسٍ وَلَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَدْ نَظَرَ إِلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي ، فَذَكَرَ عَنْهُ حِكَايَةً فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، وَالْأَعْمَشُ اسْمُهُ : سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْكَاهِلِيُّ ، وَهُوَ مَوْلًى لَهُمْ ، قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ : كَانَ أَبِي حَمِيلًا فَوَرَّثَهُ مَسْرُوقٌ .
´Anas, may Allah Most High be pleased with him, said:` "When the Prophet wanted to relieve himself, he would not raise his garment until he was close to the ground."

Brief Explanation
1؎: Here, by "mursal," what is meant is "munqati‘" (disconnected); this has been clarified by Imam Tirmidhi himself, that Al-A‘mash did not hear from Anas radi Allahu anhu. Generally, in technical terminology, a "mursal" hadith is one in which, at the end of the chain of transmission (isnad), the narrator after the Tabi‘i is omitted. Such a narration is considered weak because the continuity of the chain, which is an essential condition for a sahih (authentic) hadith, is missing. Similarly, the omitted narrator is not identified; it is possible that he is someone other than a Companion, in which case the likelihood of weakness increases. And "inqita‘" (disconnection) means that a narrator is missing in the chain.

Benefits and Issues
This narration is weak; however, it is still better that a person should exercise utmost caution in avoiding nakedness (being unclothed) even in seclusion, because Allah Ta'ala is most deserving that one should feel modesty before Him.
