[Machine] I said, "How about women, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "They reveal an arm's length." I said, "Then what remains uncovered from them?" He said, "A forearm that should not exceed."
قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ بِالنِّسَاءِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ تُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا قُلْتُ إِذَنْ يَنْكَشِفَ عَنْهُنَّ؟ قَالَ فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ

When the Prophet [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."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا ذَكَرَ فِي الإِزَارِ مَا ذَكَرَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَكَيْفَ بِالنِّسَاءِ قَالَ يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا قَالَتْ إِذًا تَبْدُوَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ قَالَ فَذِرَاعًا لاَ يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about women?" He said, "They should shorten their garment by a handspan." I said, "So their ankles would be exposed, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "A forearm's length, and they should not increase it."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ بِالنِّسَاءِ؟ قَالَ يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا قُلْتُ إِذَنْ يَنْكَشِفَ عَنْهُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ

أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذُيُولَ النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ «تُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا» قُلْتُ إِذَنْ تَنْكَشِفُ عَنْهُنَّ قَالَ «فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ»
