Sunan Abu Dawud — Clothing

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade wearing clothes in two styles: that a man sits in a single garment with his hands round his knees and uncover his private parts towards heaven and that he wears his garment while one of his sides is uncovered, and puts the garment on his shoulders

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا جرير، عن الاعمش، عن ابي صالح، عن ابي هريرة، قال نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن لبستين ان يحتبي الرجل مفضيا بفرجه الى السماء ويلبس ثوبه واحد جانبيه خارج ويلقي ثوبه على عاتقه

Narrated Jabir:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade that a man should wrap himself completely in a garment with his hands hidden it, or sit in a single garment with his hands round his knees

حدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا حماد، عن ابي الزبير، عن جابر، قال نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الصماء وعن الاحتباء في ثوب واحد

Mu'awiyah b. Qurrah quoted his father as saying:I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with a company of Muzainah and we swore allegiance to him. The buttons of his shirt were open. I swore allegiance to him and I put my hand inside the collar of his shirt and felt the seal. 'Urwah said: I always saw Mu'awiyah and his son opening their buttons of the collar during winter and summer. They never closed their buttons

حدثنا النفيلي، واحمد بن يونس، قالا حدثنا زهير، حدثنا عروة بن عبد الله، - قال ابن نفيل ابن قشير ابو مهل الجعفي - حدثنا معاوية بن قرة، حدثني ابي قال، اتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في رهط من مزينة فبايعناه وان قميصه لمطلق الازرار - قال - فبايعته ثم ادخلت يدي في جيب قميصه فمسست الخاتم . قال عروة فما رايت معاوية ولا ابنه قط الا مطلقي ازرارهما في شتاء ولا حر ولا يزرران ازرارهما ابدا

Narrated 'Aishah:We were seated in our house in the noonday heat. Someone said to Abu Bakr: Here is the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) coming to us shading his head at the hour when he would not generally come. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then came; he asked for permission and he gave him permission and he entered

حدثنا محمد بن داود بن سفيان، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا معمر، قال قال الزهري قال عروة قالت عايشة رضى الله عنها بينا نحن جلوس في بيتنا في نحر الظهيرة قال قايل لابي بكر رضى الله عنه هذا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مقبلا متقنعا في ساعة لم يكن ياتينا فيها فجاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاستاذن فاذن له فدخل

Narrated AbuJurayy Jabir ibn Salim al-Hujaymi: I saw a man whose opinion was accepted by the people, and whatever he said they submitted to it. I asked: Who is he? They said: This is the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I said: On you be peace, Messenger of Allah, twice. He said: Do not say "On you be peace," for "On you be peace" is a greeting for the dead, but say "Peace be upon you". I asked: You are the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon you)? He said: I am the Messenger of Allah Whom you call when a calamity befalls you and He removes it; when you suffer from drought and you call Him, He grows food for you; and when you are in a desolate land or in a desert and your she-camel strays and you call Him, He returns it to you. I said: Give me some advice. He said: Do not abuse anyone. He said that he did not abuse a freeman, or a slave, or a camel or a sheep thenceforth. He said: Do not look down upon any good work, and when you speak to your brother, show him a cheerful face. This is a good work. Have your lower garment halfway down your shin; if you cannot do it, have it up to the ankles. Beware of trailing the lower garment, for it is conceit and Allah does not like conceit. And if a man abuses and shames you for something which he finds in you, then do not shame him for something which you find in him; he will bear the evil consequences for it

حدثنا مسدد، حدثنا يحيى، عن ابي غفار، حدثنا ابو تميمة الهجيمي، - وابو تميمة اسمه طريف بن مجالد - عن ابي جرى، جابر بن سليم قال رايت رجلا يصدر الناس عن رايه، لا يقول شييا الا صدروا عنه قلت من هذا قالوا هذا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم . قلت عليك السلام يا رسول الله مرتين . قال " لا تقل عليك السلام . فان عليك السلام تحية الميت قل السلام عليك " . قال قلت انت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " انا رسول الله الذي اذا اصابك ضر فدعوته كشفه عنك وان اصابك عام سنة فدعوته انبتها لك واذا كنت بارض قفراء او فلاة فضلت راحلتك فدعوته ردها عليك " . قلت اعهد الى . قال " لا تسبن احدا " . قال فما سببت بعده حرا ولا عبدا ولا بعيرا ولا شاة . قال " ولا تحقرن شييا من المعروف وان تكلم اخاك وانت منبسط اليه وجهك ان ذلك من المعروف وارفع ازارك الى نصف الساق فان ابيت فالى الكعبين واياك واسبال الازار فانها من المخيلة وان الله لا يحب المخيلة وان امرو شتمك وعيرك بما يعلم فيك فلا تعيره بما تعلم فيه فانما وبال ذلك عليه

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone trails his garment arrogantly, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection. Then Abu Bakr said: One of the sides of my lower garment trails, but still I remain careful about it. He said: You are not one of those who do so conceitedly

حدثنا النفيلي، حدثنا زهير، حدثنا موسى بن عقبة، عن سالم بن عبد الله، عن ابيه، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " من جر ثوبه خيلاء لم ينظر الله اليه يوم القيامة " . فقال ابو بكر ان احد جانبى ازاري يسترخي اني لاتعاهد ذلك منه . قال " لست ممن يفعله خيلاء

Narrated Abu Hurairah:A man was praying with his lower garment hanging down. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: Go and perform ablution. He then went and performed ablution. He then came and he said: Go and perform ablution. Then a man said to him: Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with you that you commanded him to perform ablution and then you kept silence ? He replied: He was praying while hanging down his lower garments, and Allah does not accept the prayer of a man who hangs down his lower garment

حدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا ابان، حدثنا يحيى، عن ابي جعفر، عن عطاء بن يسار، عن ابي هريرة، قال بينما رجل يصلي مسبلا ازاره فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اذهب فتوضا " . فذهب فتوضا ثم جاء ثم قال " اذهب فتوضا " . فقال له رجل يا رسول الله ما لك امرته ان يتوضا ثم سكت عنه قال " انه كان يصلي وهو مسبل ازاره وان الله لا يقبل صلاة رجل مسبل

Narrated Abu Dharr:The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: There are three to whom Allah will not speak and at whom He will not look on the Day of Resurrection, and whom He will not declare pure, and they will have a painful punishment. I asked: Who are they, Messenger of Allah, they are losers and disappointed ? He repeated it three times. I asked: Who are they. Messenger of Allah, they are losers and disappointed ? He replied: The one who wears a trailing robe, the one who takes account of what he gives, and the one who produces a ready sale of a commodity by false swearing

حدثنا حفص بن عمر، حدثنا شعبة، عن علي بن مدرك، عن ابي زرعة بن عمرو بن جرير، عن خرشة بن الحر، عن ابي ذر، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم انه قال " ثلاثة لا يكلمهم الله ولا ينظر اليهم يوم القيامة ولا يزكيهم ولهم عذاب اليم " . قلت من هم يا رسول الله قد خابوا وخسروا اعادها ثلاثا . قلت من هم يا رسول الله خابوا وخسروا فقال " المسبل والمنان والمنفق سلعته بالحلف الكاذب " . او " الفاجر

Narrated Qays ibn Bishr at-Taghlibi: My father told me that he was a companion of Abu Darda'. There was in Damascus a man from the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), called Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah. He was a recluse and rarely met the people. He remained engaged in prayer. When he was not praying he was occupied in glorifying Allah and exalting Him until he went to his family. Once he passed us when we were with AbudDarda'. AbudDarda' said to him: Tell us a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent out a contingent and it came back. One of the men came and sat in the place where the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to sit, and he said to a man beside him: Would that you saw us when we met the enemy and so-and-so attacked and cut through a lance. He said: Take it from me and I am a boy of the tribe Ghifar. What do you think about his statement? He replied: I think his reward was lost. Another man heard it and said: I do not think that there is any harm in it. They quarrelled until the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard it, and he said: Glory be to Allah! There is no harm if he is rewarded and praised. I saw that AbudDarda' was pleased with it and began to raise his hand to him and say: Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He said: Yes. He continued to repeat it to him so often that I thought he was going to kneel down. He said: On another day he again passed us. AbudDarda' said to him: (Tell us) a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: One who spends on (the maintenance of) horses (for jihad) is like the one who spreads his hand to give alms (sadaqah) and does not withhold it. He then passed us on another day. AbudDarda' said to him: (Tell us) a word which benefits us and does no harm to you. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Khuraym al-Asadi would be a fine man were it not for the length of his hair, which reaches the shoulders, and the way he lets his lower garment hang down. When Khuraym heard that, he hurriedly, took a knife, cut his hair in line with his ears and raised his lower garment half way up his legs. He then passed us on another day. AbudDarda' said to him: (tell us) a word which benefits us and does not harm you. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: You are coming to your brethren; so tidy your mounts and tidy your dress, until you are like a mole among the people. Allah does not like obscene words or deeds, or do intentional committing of obscenity. Abu Dawud said: Similarly, Abu Nu'aim narrated from Hisham. He said: Until you will be like a mole among the people

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah Most High says: Pride is my cloak and majesty is my lower garment, and I shall throw him who view with me regarding one of them into Hell

Narrated 'Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: He who has in his heart as much pride as much pride as grain of mustard-seed will not enter paradise. And he who has in his heart as much faith as grain of mustard-seed will not enter Hell. Abu Dawud said: Al-Qasmali has transmitted it from Al-A'mash in a similar way

حدثنا احمد بن يونس، حدثنا ابو بكر، - يعني ابن عياش - عن الاعمش، عن ابراهيم، عن علقمة، عن عبد الله، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لا يدخل الجنة من كان في قلبه مثقال حبة من خردل من كبر ولا يدخل النار من كان في قلبه مثقال خردلة من ايمان " . قال ابو داود رواه القسملي عن الاعمش مثله

Narrated AbuHurayrah: A man who was beautiful came to the Prophet (ﷺ). He said: Messenger of Allah, I am a man who likes beauty, and I have been given some of it, as you see. And I do not like that anyone excels me (in respect of beauty). Perhaps he said: "even to the extent of thong of my sandal (shirak na'li)", or he he said: "to the extent of strap of my sandal (shis'i na'li)". Is it pride? He replied: No, pride is disdaining what is true and despising people

حدثنا ابو موسى، محمد بن المثنى حدثنا عبد الوهاب، حدثنا هشام، عن محمد، عن ابي هريرة، ان رجلا، اتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم - وكان رجلا جميلا - فقال يا رسول الله اني رجل حبب الى الجمال واعطيت منه ما ترى حتى ما احب ان يفوقني احد - اما قال بشراك نعلي . واما قال بشسع نعلي - افمن الكبر ذلك قال " لا ولكن الكبر من بطر الحق وغمط الناس

Narrated Abdur Rahman: 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

حدثنا حفص بن عمر، حدثنا شعبة، عن العلاء بن عبد الرحمن، عن ابيه، قال سالت ابا سعيد الخدري عن الازار، فقال على الخبير سقطت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ازرة المسلم الى نصف الساق ولا حرج - او لا جناح - فيما بينه وبين الكعبين ما كان اسفل من الكعبين فهو في النار من جر ازاره بطرا لم ينظر الله اليه

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Hanging down is in lower garment, shirt and turban. If anyone trails any of them conceitedly, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection
