Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Allah will not look at one who drags his garment out of pride.”

Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet said: “Whoever drags his garment out of pride, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection.” Abu Bakr said, “Messenger of Allah, one side of my waist wrapper hangs loose unless I keep checking it.” The Prophet said, “You are not one of those who do that out of pride.”

Abu Bakra reported that the sun eclipsed while they were with the Prophet. He stood, hurried to the mosque with his garment trailing, and the people gathered. He prayed two units, and the eclipse cleared. Then he turned to them and said, “The sun and the moon are two of Allah’s signs. When you see something like this, pray and supplicate Allah until He removes it.”

Abu Juhaifa said: I saw Bilal bring a short spear and plant it, then call the prayer. I saw the Messenger of Allah come out wearing a garment with its ends gathered up. He prayed two units facing the spear, while people and riding animals passed in front of him beyond the spear.

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet said: “Whatever part of the waist wrapper hangs below the ankles is in the Fire.”

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not look at one who drags his waist wrapper in arrogance.”

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet said: “While a man was walking in a fine outfit, admiring himself and grooming his long hair, Allah caused the earth to swallow him, and he will keep sinking into it until the Day of Resurrection.”

Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “While a man was dragging his waist wrapper, the earth swallowed him, and he will keep sinking into it until the Day of Resurrection.” Yunus also transmitted it from al-Zuhri, but Shu‘ayb did not attribute it to the Prophet through al-Zuhri. Jarir ibn Zayd reported that he heard Abu Hurayra narrate a similar report from the Prophet.

Ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever drags his garment out of arrogance, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection.” I asked Muharib whether he specified a waist wrapper. He said, “He specified neither a waist wrapper nor a shirt.” Jubala ibn Suhaym, Zayd ibn Aslam, and Zayd ibn Abdullah also transmitted it from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet. Al-Layth transmitted a similar report from Nafi, from Ibn Umar. Musa ibn Uqba, Umar ibn Muhammad, and Qudama ibn Musa also transmitted from Salim, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet: “Whoever drags his garment…”

Aisha reported that the wife of Rifa‘a al-Qurazi came to the Messenger of Allah while I was sitting with him and Abu Bakr. She said, “Messenger of Allah, I was married to Rifa‘a, and he gave me an irrevocable divorce. I then married Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Zubayr, but, by Allah, he has nothing except something like this fringe.” She held up a fringe from her outer garment. Khalid ibn Sa‘id heard her from outside the door, where he had not yet been admitted. He said, “Abu Bakr, will you not stop this woman from speaking so openly in front of the Messenger of Allah?” By Allah, the Messenger of Allah did no more than smile. He said to her, “Perhaps you want to return to Rifa‘a? No, not until you have experienced marital relations with him and he has experienced them with you.” This became an established ruling afterward.

Ali reported that the Prophet called for his outer wrap, then set out walking. Zayd ibn Haritha and I followed him until he came to the house where Hamza was. He asked permission to enter, and they admitted them.

A man asked the Messenger of Allah, “What clothes may a person in ihram wear?” The Prophet said, “A person in ihram must not wear a shirt, trousers, a burnous, or leather socks. If he cannot find sandals, he may wear leather socks that come below the ankles.”

Jabir reported that after Abdullah ibn Ubayy had been placed in his grave, the Prophet came, ordered that he be taken out, placed him on his knees, blew some of his saliva over him, and dressed him in his shirt. Allah knows best.

Ibn Umar reported that when Abdullah ibn Ubayy died, his son came to the Messenger of Allah and said, “Messenger of Allah, give me your shirt so I can shroud him in it, pray over him, and ask forgiveness for him.” He gave him his shirt and said, “When you have finished, let us know.” When the son had finished, he informed him, and the Prophet came to pray over him. Umar pulled him back and said, “Has Allah not forbidden you to pray over the hypocrites?” The Prophet replied with the verse: “Whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them—even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them.” Then the verse was revealed: “Do not ever pray over any of them who dies.” So he stopped praying over them.

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah compared a miser and a charitable person to two men wearing iron coats whose hands were constrained up to their chests and collarbones. Whenever the charitable person gave something, the coat widened and extended until it covered his fingertips and erased his tracks. Whenever the miser intended to give something, the coat tightened and every ring clung to its place. Abu Hurayra said: I saw the Messenger of Allah demonstrate this with his finger inside his collar, widening it, though it would not widen. Ibn Tawus also transmitted it from his father, and Abu al-Zinad from al-A‘raj, with the wording “two coats.” Hanzala likewise heard Tawus say “two coats,” and Ja‘far transmitted “two coats” from al-A‘raj.

Al-Mughira ibn Shu‘ba reported: The Prophet went to relieve himself and then returned. I brought him water, and he performed ablution while wearing a Syrian coat. He rinsed his mouth and nose and washed his face. When he tried to take his hands out through the sleeves, they were too tight, so he brought them out from beneath the coat, washed them, wiped his head, and wiped over his leather socks.

Al-Mughira ibn Shu‘ba reported: One night on a journey, the Prophet asked, “Do you have water with you?” I said, “Yes.” He got down from his riding animal and walked until he disappeared from my sight in the darkness. Then he returned, and I poured water from the small water-skin over him. He washed his face and hands while wearing a woolen coat. He could not get his forearms out through it, so he brought them out from underneath and washed them. Then he wiped his head. I bent down to remove his leather socks, but he said, “Leave them, for I put them on while ritually pure.” He wiped over them.

Al-Miswar ibn Makhrama reported that the Messenger of Allah distributed some cloaks and gave none to Makhrama. Makhrama said, “My son, let us go to the Messenger of Allah.” I went with him. He told me, “Go in and call him for me.” I called him, and he came out wearing one of the cloaks. He said, “I kept this one for you.” Makhrama looked at it and was pleased.

Uqba ibn Amir reported that a silk robe was presented to the Messenger of Allah. He wore it, prayed in it, then turned away and removed it forcefully, as though he disliked it. He said, “This is not suitable for those who are mindful of Allah.” Abdullah ibn Yusuf also transmitted it from al-Layth; another narrator said “a silk robe.”
