Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the Mothers of the Believers to let their garments hang down by a handspan. But when they requested more, he (peace and blessings be upon him) allowed them to let it hang down by an additional handspan. Thus, they would let it hang down to a forearm’s length, and they used to send the cloth to us, and we would measure it.
