1047 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدُنَا يُصَلِّي فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوَكُلُّكُمْ يَجِدُ ثَوْبَيْنِ؟»

Commentary
A man (as distinct from woman) can perform prayer in a single garment. The procedure for using a single cloth on the body among the Arabs was to take a piece of cloth and stretch it on the back like a wrapper, then to bring the two ends of it forward and put the right end over the left shoulder and the left end over the right shoulder. Thus, a single sheet would serve the purpose of concealing the wearer's private parts as well as his belly and shoulders. A single garment would thus do the job of two.
