وحدثني، عن مالك، عن ابي بكر بن نافع ، عن ابيه نافع مولى ابن عمر، عن صفية بنت ابي عبيد انها اخبرته، عن ام سلمة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، انها قالت حين ذكر الإزار: فالمراة يا رسول الله؟ قال:" ترخيه شبرا"، قالت ام سلمة: إذا ينكشف عنها، قال: " فذراعا، لا تزيد عليه"
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mentioned the matter of lowering the izar, I asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! What should a woman do? He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "She should lower her izar by one span." Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: That much will still leave her exposed. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "She should lower it by one hand's length, and no more than that."
