-" يا عمرو! إن الله عز وجل قد احسن كل شيء خلقه. يا عمرو! - وضرب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم باربع اصابع من كفه اليمنى تحت ركبة عمرو فقال: - هذا موضع الإزار، ثم رفعها، [ثم ضرب باربع اصابع تحت الاربع الاولى ثم قال: يا عمرو! هذا موضع الإزار]، ثم رفعها، ثم وضعها تحت الثانية، فقال: يا عمرو! هذا موضع الإزار".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Fulan Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that he was walking in such a state that his lower garment (izar) was hanging below his ankles, when suddenly the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met him, and at that time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was holding his forehead and saying: "O Allah! I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, and the son of Your maidservant." Amr says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! My shins are thin." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Amr! Indeed, Allah Almighty has created everything beautifully. O Amr!" Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed the four fingers of his right hand below Amr's knee and said: "This is the place for the izar." Then he lifted them and placed four fingers (the width of the previous four fingers) below, and said: "This is the place for the izar." Then he lifted them and placed them below the second set of four fingers and said: "Amr! This is the place for the izar."

-" إن كنت عبد الله فارفع إزارك".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I was wearing an izar (lower garment), and it was moving. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who is this?" I said: I am Abdullah bin Umar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you are truly a servant of Allah, then raise your izar." So I raised my izar up to half of my shins. After that, his lower garment remained like that until he passed away.

-" لا تسبن احدا ولا تحقرن شيئا من المعروف وان تكلم اخاك وانت منبسط إليه وجهك إن ذلك من المعروف، وارفع إزارك إلى نصف الساق، فإن ابيت فإلى الكعبين وإياك وإسبال الإزار فإنها من المخيلة وإن الله لا يحب المخيلة وإن امرؤ شتمك وعيرك بما يعلم فيك فلا تعيره بما تعلم فيه، فإنما وبال ذلك عليه".
Sayyiduna Abu Juray Jabir bin Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw a man to whom people would submit their opinions; whatever he said, they would accept it. I asked: Who is this man? They said: This is the Messenger of Allah. I said twice: O Messenger of Allah! «عليك السلام» You (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do not say «عليك السلام» , for that is the greeting of the dead; (for greeting the living, say «السلام عليكم» ).”I asked: Are you the Messenger of Allah? You (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I am the Messenger of Allah, the One that if any harm befalls you and you call upon Him, He will remove it; if you are afflicted by famine and you supplicate to Him, He will cause vegetation to grow from the earth; and if you are in a barren, desolate wilderness and your mount is lost and you call upon Him, He will return it to you.”I said: Please give me some advice. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do not abuse anyone, do not consider any good deed insignificant, even if it is speaking to your brother with a cheerful face. Raise your lower garment to the middle of your shin; if not, then to the ankles, but beware of letting your garment (or trousers, etc.) hang below the ankles, for that is arrogance, and Allah does not like arrogance. If a man reproaches you for a bad deed of yours that he knows about, do not taunt him for a fault of his that you know, for the consequence of that will be upon him.”In another narration, there is an addition in these words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do not abuse anyone.”So Abu Juray said: After this advice, I never abused any free man or slave, not even a camel or a goat.

-" جريه شبرا، فقالت (ام سلمة) إذا تنكشف القدمان، قال: فجريه ذراعا".
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the (threatening words) regarding dragging the lower part of the garment, I (Umm Salamah) asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the ruling for us (women)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let it drag a span (on the ground)." Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: In that case, the feet may become exposed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then let it drag a cubit."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Then a forearm’s length, but they cannot let it hang more than that.”

Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) placed the four fingers of his right hand below Amr's knee and said: "This is the place for the izar." Then he lifted them and, at the distance of the previous four fingers below, again placed four fingers and said: "This is the place for the izar." Then he lifted them and placed them below the second set of four fingers and said: "Amr! This is the place for the izar."

Sayyiduna Shuraid (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw a man in the distance who was dragging his lower garment. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) hurried towards him or rushed to him and said: "Raise your lower garment and fear Allah." He said: "My feet are turned inward and when I walk, my knees knock against each other." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Raise your lower garment, for indeed every creation of Allah is beautiful." After that, that man was not seen except that his lower garment would be up to the middle of his shins.
