"عن عمرَ قَالَ: ذكرَ نساءُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ مَا يُدَلَّينَ من الثَّيَاب؟ قالَ: يُدَلِّينَ شبرًا، فَقُلْنَ: شبرٌ قليلٌ؛ تَخْرُجُ منْهُ العورةُ، قَالَ: فَذِرَاعًا، قُلنَ: تبدُو أَقْدامُهنَّ، قَالَ: ذِراعًا، لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ".

[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."
