"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of the calf of my shin - or his shin - and he said: "This is the place of the Izar, if you must lower it, then the Izar has no right to be on the ankles." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1783)   

أحمد:٢٣٢٤٣حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ نُذَيْرٍ

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَضَلَةِ سَاقِي أَوْ سَاقِهِ قَالَ هَذَا مَوْضِعُ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَأَسْفَلُ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَلَا حَقَّ لِلْإِزَارِ فِيمَا دُونَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ
