Narrated Mu'awiya b. Qurra quoted his father as saying:
I came to the Prophet with a company of Muzaina who swore allegiance to him, and as his buttons were open I put my hand inside his shirt and felt the seal.
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
When God’s messenger mentioned the lower garment Umm Salama asked what a woman should do and he said she should let it down a span. She replied that in that case she would not be completely covered, and he said she might let it down a cubit, but no more.
Malik, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah transmitted it. In the version of Tirmidhi and Nasa’i on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar she said their feet would then be uncovered, and he replied that they should let it down a cubit, but no more.
Samura reported the Prophet as saying, "Wear white clothes, for they are purer and better ; and shroud your dead in them."
Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Nasa'i and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
Abu Kabsha said the headgear worn by God's messenger's Companions was flat. (It is not clear whether the reference here is to headgear which was low and wide, or to wide sleeves. The former seems to be preferred. Cf. Mirqat, iv, 424.)
Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a tradition which is rejected.
