632. Salamah bin Al-Akwa' said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I am a man that hunts game, can I pray in one Qamīṣ?' He said: 'Yes, but tie it up, even if it is (fastened) with a thorn.'"[1] (Ḥasan)

Arabic text

632 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أَصِيدُ أَفَأُصَلِّي فِي الْقَمِيصِ الْوَاحِدِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ وَازْرُرْهُ وَلَوْ بِشَوْكَةٍ»

Commentary

The meaning of "Qamīṣ," is a long robe (like what is called "Thawb" today). This narration proves the permissibility of praying in a long shirt, even if there is no lower garment, or garment under it. If there is the possibility of such a garment becoming loose, then it should be tied or fastened.
