361. Narrated Sa'īd bin Al-Ḥārith: I asked Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا about offering Ṣalāt (prayer) in a single garment. He said, "I travelled with the Prophet ﷺ during some of his journeys, and I came to him at night for some purpose and I found him offering Ṣalāt. At that time, I was wearing a single garment with which I covered my shoulders and offered Ṣalāt by his side. When he finished the Ṣalāt, he asked, 'O Jābir! What has brought you here?' I told him what I wanted. When I finished, he asked, 'O Jābir! What is this garment which I have seen and with which you covered your shoulders?' I replied, 'It is a (tight) garment.' He said, 'If the garment is large enough, wrap it round the body (covering the shoulders) and if it is tight (too short) then use it as an Izār (tie it around your waist only)."

361 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الحَارِثِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فِي الثَّوْبِ الوَاحِدِ، فَقَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ، فَجِئْتُ لَيْلَةً لِبَعْضِ أَمْرِي، فَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي، وَعَلَيَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ، فَاشْتَمَلْتُ بِهِ وَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: «مَا السُّرَى يَا جَابِرُ» فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِحَاجَتِي، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ قَالَ: «مَا هَذَا الِاشْتِمَالُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ»، قُلْتُ: كَانَ ثَوْبٌ - يَعْنِي ضَاقَ - قَالَ: «فَإِنْ كَانَ وَاسِعًا فَالْتَحِفْ بِهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ ضَيِّقًا فَاتَّزِرْ بِهِ»
