[Machine] The women of the Prophet ﷺ mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ the amount of fabric they let hang down from their clothes. He said, "They should let down a handspan." They said, "But a handspan is a small amount that would still show their 'awrah (private parts)." Mu'awiyah added, "Then let it be an arm's length."  

ذَكَرَ نِسَاءُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا يُذَيِّلْنَ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ قَالَ «يُذَيِّلْنَ شِبْرًا» قُلْنَ فَإِنَّ شِبْرًا قَلِيلٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْعَوْرَةُ زَادَ مُعَاوِيَةُ قَالَ فَذِرَاعٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever drags his garment out of pride, Allah will not look at him." Umm Salamah said, "What about us then?" He replied, "A handspan." She asked, "In that case, will our feet be exposed?" He said, "No more than a forearm's length."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الَّذِي يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ مِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ لَا يَنْظُرُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ» قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَكَيْفَ بِنَا؟ قَالَ «شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ إِذًا تَبْدُو أَقْدَامُنَا؟ قَالَ «فَذِرَاعٌ لَا تَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Whoever drags his garment out of pride, Allah will not look at him.' Umm Salamah said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what should women do with their hems?' He said: 'Let it down a hand span.' She said: 'But then their feet will show.' He said: 'Let it down a forearm's length, but no more than that.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5336)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ جَرَّ ثَوْبَهُ مِنَ الْخُيَلَاءِ لَمْ يَنْظُرِ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ» قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَكَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ النِّسَاءُ بِذُيُولِهِنَّ؟ قَالَ «يُرْخِينَهُ شِبْرًا» قُلْتُ إِذَا تَنْكَشِفُ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ؟ قَالَ «فَيُرْخِينَهُ ذِرَاعًا لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A woman's garment should be extended to a forearm's length below her ankle." I asked, "Then won't it be uncovered?" He replied, "No more than a forearm's length."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تُرْخِي الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ ذَيْلِهَا شِبْرًا» قُلْتُ إِذًا تَنْكَشِفُ؟ قَالَ «ذِرَاعًا لَا تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ»  

She mentioned women's hems to the Messenger of Allah [SAW], and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "Let it down a hand span." Umm Salamah said: "But that will uncover (her feet)." He said: "Let it down a forearm's length, but no more than that." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5337)  

أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذُيُولَ النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تُرْخِي شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ إِذًا يَنْكَشِفُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ «تُرْخِي ذِرَاعًا لَا تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about women?" He said, "A forearm." She said, "It is not enough for them." He said, "Then a cubit."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ النِّسَاءَ؟ قَالَ «شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ لَا يَكْفِيهُنَّ قَالَ «فَذِرَاعٌ»  

[Machine] When the messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the issue of excessive clothing, I asked him, "O messenger of Allah, what about women? How should they dress?" He said, "They should let their garment sleeves hang down."  

لَمَّا ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْإِسْبَالِ مَا ذَكَرَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ النِّسَاءَ كَيْفَ بِهِنَّ؟ قَالَ «يُرْخِينَ ذِرَاعًا»  

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." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5338)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا ذَكَرَ فِي الْإِزَارِ مَا ذَكَرَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَكَيْفَ بِالنِّسَاءِ؟ قَالَ «يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ إِذًا تَبْدُوَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ؟ قَالَ «فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The feet of women are a cubit." I said, "So, their feet will be exposed?" He replied, "No, it is a forearm's length, they do not exceed it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ذُيُولُ النِّسَاءِ شِبْرٌ» قُلْتُ إِذًا تَخْرُجُ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ؟ قَالَ «فَذِرَاعٌ لَا يَزِدْنَ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about how long a woman’s hem should hang down. He said: ‘A hand span.’ I said: ‘But then (her legs and feet) will be uncovered.’ He said: ‘Then a forearm’s length, but no more than that.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3580)  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَمْ تَجُرُّ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ ذَيْلِهَا؟ قَالَ «شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ إِذًا يَنْكَشِفُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ «فَذِرَاعٌ لَا تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] She said, "O Messenger of Allah, they are the zawajal of women?" He said, "They lengthen their shibar." She said, "So their feet are revealed?" He said, "An arm's length, they should not exceed it." [447] 9661 Isma'il ibn Mas'ud told us, he said: Khalid told us, he said: 'Ubaydullah told us, on the authority of Nafi', on the authority of Sulayman ibn Yasar, that Umm Salamah mentioned the zawajal of women as a tradition. 9662 Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn 'Abd al-Hakam told us, he said: Shu'ayb ibn al-Layth narrated to us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, who is the son of Anj, on the authority of Nafi', that Umm Salamah mentioned the zawajal of women as a tradition.  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذُيُولُ النِّسَاءِ؟ قَالَ «تُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ إِذًا تَنْكَشِفُ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ؟ قَالَ «ذِرَاعًا لَا تَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ» [447] 9661 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ذَكَرَتْ ذُيُولَ النِّسَاءِ مُرْسَلٌ 9662 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هُوَ ابْنُ عَنْجٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ذَكَرَتْ ذُيُولَ النِّسَاءِ مُرْسَلٌ
