4093. It was narrated from Al-'Alā' bin 'Abdur-Rahmān that his father said: "I asked Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī about the Izār, and he said: 'You have come to one who knows about it. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Izār of the Muslim is to mid-calf, and there is no sin if it comes between that and the ankle, but whatever is below the ankle is in the Fire. The one who lets his Izār drag out of conceit, Allāh will not look at him." (Saḥīh)
4093 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ عَنِ الإِزَارِ، فَقَال: عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِزْرَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ، وَلَا حَرَجَ - أَوْ لَا جُنَاحَ - فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ، مَا كَانَ أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ، مَنْ جَرَّ إِزَارَهُ بَطَرًا لَمْ يَنْظُرِ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ»

Aḥādīth mentioning the gravity of Isbāl are of two categories; that mentioning the Fire for whatever is below the ankles, indicating its prohibition in general, and that mentioning that Allāh does not look at whoever does it out of pride and conceit. Therefore, whoever knowingly does so, after the text have been made clear, he falls into the category of those who reject the truth, and belittle the people, or those who do so out of pride. Hence the wisdom in the author's organization of these narrations is clear.
