Book 48: The Book of Adornment
It was narrated from Umm Salamah that:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) [SAW] said what he said about the Izar, Umm Salamah said: “What about women?” He said: “Let it down a hand span.” She said: “But then their feet will show.” He said: “Then (let it down) a forearm’s length, but no more than that.”
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمَّا ذَكَرَ فِي الإِزَارِ مَا ذَكَرَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَكَيْفَ بِالنِّسَاءِ قَالَ ” يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا ” . قَالَتْ إِذًا تَبْدُوَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ . قَالَ ” فَذِرَاعًا لاَ يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ ” .
