أَخْبَرَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ جَرَّ ثَوْبَهُ مِنْ الْخُيَلَائِ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَکَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ النِّسَائُ بِذُيُولِهِنَّ قَالَ تُرْخِينَهُ شِبْرًا قَالَتْ إِذًا تَنْکَشِفَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ قَالَ تُرْخِينَهُ ذِرَاعًا لَا تَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5351
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Whoever drags his garment out of pride, Allah will not look at him.’ Umm Salamah said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, what should women do with their hems?’ He said: ‘Let it down a hand span.’ She said; ‘But then their feet will show.’ He said: ‘Let it down a forearm’s length, but no more than that.” (Sahih).
