638. Abū Hurairah narrated: "Once a man was praying while his Izār was dragging. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ told him: 'Go and perform Wudū.' So he went and performed Wudū, then returned. Then he ﷺ told him: 'Go and perform Wudū,' so he went and performed Wudū, then returned. A man asked: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Why did you command him to perform Wudū, then remained quiet (after he returned)?' He said: 'He was praying while he was dragging his Izār, and Allāh, exalted is His Remembrance, does not accept the prayer of one who drags his Izār.'" (Hasan)
