حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی بْنِ فَارِسٍ الذُّهْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ يَحْيَی بْنُ وَاضِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُنِيبِ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْعَتَکِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فِي لِحَافٍ لَا يَتَوَشَّحُ بِهِ وَالْآخَرُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِي سَرَاوِيلَ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْکَ رِدَائٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 638
Abu Hurairah said: while a man was praying letting his lower garment trail, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Go and perform ablution. He, therefore, went and performed ablution and then returned. He (the prophet) again said: Go and perform ablution. He again went, performed ablution and returned. A man said to him (the prophet): Messenger of Allah, why did you order him to perform ablution? He said: he was praying with lower garment trailing, and does not accept the prayer of a man who lets his lower garment trail.
