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."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
English Translation:
1:
Here, by "mursal" what is meant is "munqati‘" (disconnected).
Its explanation has been given by Imam Tirmidhi rahimahullah himself, that Al-A‘mash did not hear from Anas radi Allahu anhu.
Generally, in technical terminology, "mursal" is:
A hadith in which, from the end of the chain, the narrator after the Tabi‘i is omitted.
Such a narration is weak because the continuity of the chain (ittisal al-isnad) is missing, which is an essential condition for a sahih (authentic) hadith.
Likewise, the omitted narrator is not identified,
and it is possible that he is someone other than a Companion (sahabi).
In this case, the likelihood of its 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.
