Shama'il al-Muhammadiya, Book of The Lungi Of Prophet of Allah ﷺ

Abu Burdah bin Musa Al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reports, "Aishah radyiallahu anha showed us a patched sheet, and the thick coarse lungi, then said, "When Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, he was wearing these clothes.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلالٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيْنَا عَائِشَةُ، كِسَاءً مُلَبَّدًا، وَإِزَارًا غَلِيظًا، فَقَالَتْ: قُبِضَ رُوحُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فِي هَذَيْنِ.

Ubaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I was once going to Madinah Munawwarah. I heard a person from behind me say, "Wear the lungi higher because it avoids physical and spiratual najaasah (impurities)." (The lungi will remain cleaner and will not become dirty by being dragged on the ground.)When I turned to see who was talking, I saw that it was Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said, "O' Messenger of Allah, this is a simple lungi, how can one become proud, and it is necessary to look after it (keep it clean)?"Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "If you see no benefit in it, your following me has not ceased."While Messenger of Allah ﷺ was telling me this, I saw that his lungi reached till half his him."

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَمَّتِي، تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمِّهَا، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمشِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ، إِذَا إِنْسَانٌ خَلْفِي يَقُولُ: ارْفَعْ إِزَارَكَ، فَإِنَّهُ أَتْقَى وَأَبْقَى فَإِذَا هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ بُرْدَةٌ مَلْحَاءُ، قَالَ: أَمَا لَكَ فِيَّ أُسْوَةٌ؟ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا إِزَارُهُ إِلَى نِصْفِ سَاقَيْهِ.

Salamah bin Akwa (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) wore his lungi till the middle of his shin and said, "This is how my master Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore his lungi."

حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنِ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، يَأْتَزِرُ إِلَى أَنْصَافِ سَاقَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: هَكَذَا كَانَتْ إِزْرَةُ صَاحِبِي، يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ.
