Ali bin Abdur Rahman narrates from his father: I presented myself before Sayyiduna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked: Have you heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say anything regarding the izar (lower garment)? He replied: Yes, I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: The izar of a believer should be till the middle of his shin. There is no harm if it is between the middle of the shin and the ankles, but whatever is below that will be in the Hellfire, and Allah Almighty will not look with mercy at the person who lets his izar hang out of pride.

Ali bin Abdur Rahman narrates from his father: I asked Sayyiduna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) about the lower garment (izaar), so he said: I will tell you a matter of knowledge about this. I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The lower garment of a believer should be till the middle of the shin. There is no harm if it is between the middle of the shin and the ankles, but whatever is below that will be in the Hellfire. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times (and then said): Allah Almighty will not look with mercy at the person who lets his lower garment hang out of pride.

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his blessed hand on the middle part of his (or their) shin and said: This is the place for the lower garment. If you do not accept, then lower it further. If you still do not accept, then there is no right for the lower garment below the ankles. (That is, it should be above the ankles.)

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) held my shin from the middle and said: This is the place for the lower garment; if you do not accept this, then here it is, however, the lower garment has no right below the ankles.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Abu Ishaq heard this narration from Muslim bin Nadhir and Agharr Abu Muslim, so both of its chains are preserved; however, the narration transmitted by Agharr is rarer, and the narration transmitted by Muslim bin Nadhir is more well-known.

Ali bin Abdur Rahman narrates from his father: The matter of the lower garment (tehband) was mentioned, so I went to the service of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). I said: Tell me about the lower garment. He said: Yes, (I will tell you) a matter of knowledge. I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A believer's lower garment should reach to the middle of his shin. There is no sin if it is between the middle of the shin and the ankles, but whatever is below that will be in the Hellfire. And whoever lets his lower garment hang out of pride, Allah Almighty will not look at him with mercy."

Safiyyah bint Abu Ubaid narrates: When the matter of the lower garment was mentioned, the noble wife of the Prophet, Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), submitted to you: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! What is the ruling for a woman? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: She should let it hang down a handspan. Lady Umm Salamah submitted: In that case, she will be uncovered. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Then let her hang it down a cubit (i.e., the length of both arms spread out), but she should not let it hang more than that.

Muawiyah bin Qurrah narrates from his father: I, along with some people from the tribe of Muzaynah, presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). We pledged allegiance on his blessed hand. I saw that the collar of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was open, so I put my hand inside it and touched the Seal of Prophethood.

The narrator says: I saw Muawiyah bin Qurrah and his father always kept their collars open in every season, whether it was hot or cold. They never buttoned them.

Zaid bin Aslam narrates that he saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) performing prayer with his button open. I asked him about this, and he replied: I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performing prayer in this manner.

Abu Uthman narrates: The letter of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reached us while we were in Azerbaijan with Utbah bin Farqad. (It was written in it:) "To proceed! Keep your buttons fastened, keep your shoes on, use light-weight arrows, and cut your trousers (a little above the ankles). It is obligatory upon you to wear the clothing of your ancestor, Sayyiduna Ismail (peace be upon him), and avoid (expensive and unnecessary) adornments and the customs of the non-Arabs. And it is obligatory upon you to stay in the sun, for this is the bathhouse of the Arabs. Wear rough and old clothes and ride on the bare back of the horse, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from wearing silk, except for this much—meaning two fingers' width, the middle finger and the index finger."

The narrator says: To our knowledge, what is meant by this is a sign (i.e., using silk as a strip).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When a person puts on shoes, he should put them on the right foot first, and when he takes them off, he should take them off from the right foot first. The right foot should be first in putting on, and the left should be first in taking off."
