Ahmad ibn Mani’ told us, saying: Isma’il ibn Ibrahim told us, saying: Ayyub told us, on the authority of Humayd ibn Hilal, on the authority of Abu Burdah, who said: Aisha brought out to us a felted cloak and a thick loincloth, and said: The soul of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was taken in these two.

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us, saying: Abu Dawud narrated to us, on the authority of Shu'bah, on the authority of al-Ash'ath ibn Sulaym, who said: I heard my aunt narrating on the authority of her uncle, who said: While I was walking in Medina, a man behind me said: "Raise your lower garment, for it is more pious and more lasting." Then it was the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is only a cloak." Malha’ said: “Do you not have an example in me?” So I looked and saw that his loincloth reached halfway down his shins.

Suwaid bin Nasr told us, saying: Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Musa bin Ubaidah, on the authority of Iyas bin Salamah bin Al-Akwa’, on the authority of his father, who said: Uthman bin Affan used to wear his lower garment to the middle of his shins, and he said: This is how my companion’s lower garment was, meaning the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.

Qutaybah ibn Sa’id told us: Abu al-Ahwas told us, on the authority of Abu Ishaq, on the authority of Muslim ibn Nadhir, on the authority of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, took hold of the muscle of my leg or his leg, and said: This is the place of the lower garment. If you refuse, then lower it. If you refuse, then the lower garment has no right to cover the ankles.
