Hazrat Saeed bin Wahb narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saw some people performing prayer with their clothes trailing. He said, "They look as if they are returning from celebrating a Jewish festival."

Ibrahim has considered wearing the garment in a sadl manner during prayer as disliked. (Ibn al-Athir in al-Nihayah (2/355) states that sadl means to wear the garment in such a way that one puts his hands inside its inner part and performs bowing and prostration in this manner. According to another opinion, sadl means to place the middle part of the lower garment on the head and let its edges hang down on the right and left instead of placing them on the shoulders.)

Hazrat Mujahid says that letting the garment hang loose in prayer is disliked (makruh).

Hazrat Nafi' reports that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) considered sadl (letting the garment hang loosely) in prayer to be disliked due to opposition to the Jews, and said that the Jews let their garments hang during worship.

Hazrat Mujahid has declared Sadl in prayer to be disliked (makruh).

Ibrahim and Hazrat Mujahid have considered "sadl" in prayer to be disliked. Hazrat Waki' says that we also regard it as disliked.

6645 - (W) (1) From Layth, from Mujahid, that both of them disliked letting the garment hang loosely (as-sadl) in prayer.

6646 - He said: Waki‘, and we dislike it.

Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade Sadl in prayer.
