[Machine] "Lift up your garment, for it is more modest and piety-inducing." So I looked and behold, it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is only a cloth (burdah) hanging (malha)." He said, "Do you not have in me a good example?" So I looked and his garment was halfway down his leg. Reported to us Abdul-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Salam Al-Tarsusi, he said: Abu Al-Nadr informed us, he said: Shayban informed us, from Ash'ath, he said: My aunt informed me, from the paternal uncle of Abu Ubaid ibn Khalid, he said: I came to Madinah when I was a young tribal man, and I had loosened my garment. So a man caught up with me from behind and mentioned something similar to it.

«ارْفَعْ إِزَارَكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَبْقَى وَأَتْقَى» فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ بُرْدَةٌ مَلْحَاءُ قَالَ «أَمَا لَكَ فِيَّ أُسْوَةٌ» فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا إِزَارُهُ عَلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ 9604 أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ الطَّرَسُوسِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي عَمَّتِي عَنْ عَمِّ أَبِي عُبَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ أَعْرَابِيٌّ وَقَدْ أَرْخَيْتُ إِزَارِي فَلَحِقَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِي فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
