Chapter 52: Praying In A Single Garment, And How It Should Be Worn

Abu Zubair reported that he saw Jabir b. 'Abdullah praying in a single garment crossing Its ends even though he had the garments, and Jabir said

He saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing like this.

Abu Sa'id al Khudri reported

I visited the Apostle (ﷺ) and saw him praying on a reed mat on which he was prostrating himself. And I saw him praying in a single garment with ends crossed with each other.

This hadith has been narrated by A'mash with the came chain of transmitters, and in the narration of Abu Karaib the words are

" Placing its (mantle's) ends on his shoulders" ; and the narration transmitted by Abu Bakr and Suwaid (the words are):" the ends crossing with each other".
