ahmad:14594Yūnus > ʿAbd al-Raḥman / Ibn al-Ghasīl > Shuraḥbīl Abū Saʿd

[Machine] I said, "May Allah forgive you, O Abu Abdullah, while you are praying in one garment and these are your other garments beside you?" He replied, "I wanted the foolish one like you to enter upon me and see me praying in one garment. Did each of the companions of the Messenger ﷺ have two garments?" Then Jabir started narrating to us and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If the garment becomes spacious, cover your shoulders with it, then pray. And if it becomes tight, loosen it around your waist, then pray, without repelling it.'"
