[Machine] "The waistcloth (izār) was mentioned, so I went to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri and asked him about the waistcloth. He said, 'Yes, with knowledge I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The waistcloth of a believer should cover the area between his navel and his knees. It is not sinful if it is shorter or longer than that, but whoever drags their waistcloth arrogantly, Allah will not look at them in the Hellfire."

I asked Abu Sa'id al-Khudri about wearing lower garment. He said: You have come to the man who knows it very well. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The way for a believer to wear a lower garment is to have it halfway down his legs and he is guilty of no sin if it comes halfway between that and the ankles, but what comes lower than the ankles is in Hell. On the day of Resurrection. Allah will not look at him who trails his lower garment conceitedly.

Yahya related to me from Malik from al Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman that his father said, "I asked Abu Said al-Khudri about the lower garment. He said that he would inform me with knowledge and that he had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The lower garment of the mumin should reach to the middle of his calves. There is no harm in what is between that and the ankles. What is lower than that is in the Fire. What is lower than that is in the Fire. On the Day of Rising, Allah will not look at a person who trails his lower garment in arrogance.' "
