English translation

373. Narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها: The Prophet ﷺ offered Ṣalāt (prayer) in a Khamīṣa (a square garment) having marks. During the Ṣalāt, he looked at its marks. So, when he finished the Ṣalāt he said, “Take this Khamīṣa of mine to Abū Jahm and get me his Anbijāniyya (a woolen garment without marks) as it (the Khamīṣa) has diverted my attention from the Ṣalāt.” Narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها: The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘I was looking at its (Khamīṣa’s) marks during the Ṣalāt (prayer) and I was afraid that it may put me in trial (by diverting my attention). (1) (Ch.13) It is agreed by the majority of the religious scholars that a woman while offering Ṣalāt (prayer) should cover herself completely except her face, and it is better that she should cover her hands with gloves or cloth etc., but her feet must be covered either with a long dress or she must wear socks to cover her feet. This verdict is based on the Prophet’s statement (Abū-Dāwūd).

373 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلاَمٌ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَعْلاَمِهَا نَظْرَةً، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا بِخَمِيصَتِي هَذِهِ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ وَأْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيَّةِ أَبِي جَهْمٍ، فَإِنَّهَا أَلْهَتْنِي آنِفًا عَنْ صَلاَتِي» وَقَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا، وَأَنَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تَفْتِنَنِي»
