[Machine] "I saw seventy people from the People of Excellence praying in a garment, and among them were those whose garment reached their knees and others whose garment was lower than that. When one of them would bow, he would hold his garment out of fear that his 'awrah would be exposed."  

الزهد لأحمد:٣٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنِي فُضَيْلٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

«رَأَيْتُ سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ يُصَلُّونَ فِي ثَوْبٍ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَبْلُغُ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا رَكَعَ أَحَدُهُمْ قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تَبْدُوَ عَوْرَتُهُ»
