´Narrated 'Aishah:` "Zaid bin Harithah arrived in Al-Madinah while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in his house. So he went and knocked at the door, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood naked (1), dragging his garment - and by Allah! I did not see him naked before nor afterwards - and he hugged him and kissed him." (1) They say that the meaning of naked here is that he was not wearing his Rida or upper wrap and it was that which was dragging, so the area between the navel and knees were covered. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi.

Explanation:
1:
That is, no one saw the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in such a state and manner of reception as he was when meeting Zayd ibn Harithah—such that his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) cloak had fallen from his shoulder, and he embraced him in that very state.
Note:
(In the chain of narration, both "Ibrahim ibn Yahya ibn Muhammad" and his father "Yahya ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abbad" are weak narrators.)
