حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ أَنَّ أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِزَارًا وَوَجَدَ سَرَاوِيلَ فَلْيَلْبَسْهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ نَعْلَيْنِ وَوَجَدَ خُفَّيْنِ فَلْيَلْبَسْهُمَا قُلْتُ لَمْ يَقُلْ لِيَقْطَعْهُمَا قَالَ لَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2015
Amr bin Deenar narrated that Abush-Sha'tha told him that Ibn "Abbas told him that he heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) deliver a speech in which he said: "Whoever cannot find an izar but can find pants, let him put them on, and whoever cannot find sandals but can find leather slippers { khuffain ), let him put them on." I said: Did he not say to cut them down? He said: No.
