I asked Jabir bin ʿAbdullah about praying in a single garment. He said, "I traveled with the Prophet ﷺ during some of his journeys, and I came to him at night for some purpose and I found him praying. At that time, I was wearing a single garment with which I covered my shoulders and prayed by his side. When he finished the prayer, he asked, 'O Jabir! What has brought you here?' I told him what I wanted. When I finished, he asked, 'O Jabir! What is this garment which I have seen and with which you covered your shoulders?' I replied, 'It is a (tight) garment.' He said, 'If the garment is large enough, wrap it round the body (covering the shoulders) and if it is tight (too short) then use it as an Izar (tie it around your waist only.)' "  

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَجِئْتُ لَيْلَةً لِبَعْضِ أَمْرِي فَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي وَعَلَىَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ فَاشْتَمَلْتُ بِهِ وَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ مَا السُّرَى يَا جَابِرُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِحَاجَتِي فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ قَالَ مَا هَذَا الاِشْتِمَالُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ قُلْتُ كَانَ ثَوْبٌ يَعْنِي ضَاقَ قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانَ وَاسِعًا فَالْتَحِفْ بِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ ضَيِّقًا فَاتَّزِرْ بِهِ  

The men used to pray with the Prophet ﷺ with their Izars tied around their necks as boys used to do; therefore the Prophet ﷺ told the women not to raise their heads till the men sat down straight (while praying).  

كَانَ رِجَالٌ يُصَلُّونَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَاقِدِي أُزْرِهِمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ كَهَيْئَةِ الصِّبْيَانِ وَقَالَ لِلنِّسَاءِ لاَ تَرْفَعْنَ رُءُوسَكُنَّ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ الرِّجَالُ جُلُوسًا
