It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying in a single garment, wrapped in it, and both its ends were on his two shoulders, in the house of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) whether prayer is valid in a single garment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Does each one of you have two garments?"

It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib that Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about praying in a single garment. He said: It is permissible. Then he was asked: Do you also do this? He replied: Yes, I pray in a single garment even though my clothes are placed on the stand.

Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pray in a single garment.

It is narrated from Rabi'ah bin Abdur Rahman that Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm used to perform prayer wearing only a shirt.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever does not find two garments should perform prayer wrapped in one garment; if it is small, then he should make it his lower garment (waist-wrapper)."

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Whoever prays in a single shirt should place a cloth over his shoulders.
