5341. It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was asked how much a woman should let her hem drag. He said: 'A hand span.' She said: 'But then it will uncover her (feet).' He said: 'A forearm's length, and no more than that.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

5339 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: كَمْ تَجُرُّ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ ذَيْلِهَا؟ قَالَ: «شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ: إِذًا يَنْكَشِفَ عَنْهَا، قَالَ: «ذِرَاعٌ، لَا تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا»
