5014. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'While I was sleeping, I saw the people being shown to me, and they were wearing shirts. Some reached the breast and some reached lower than that. And 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb was shown to me, and he was wearing a shirt that he was dragging.' They said: 'How do you interpret that, O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'The religion.'" (Saḥīḥ)
5011 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَيْهِمْ قُمُصٌ، مِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ الثُّدِيَّ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ، وَعُرِضَ عَلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ يَجُرُّهُ»، قَالَ: فَمَاذَا أَوَّلْتَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «الدِّينَ»

The shirt conceals the blemishes, deficiencies, and ignominies of the human body, and lends handsomeness to man. The Dīn or religion also erases the moral faults of man, and civilizes him. This is why Allāh's Messenger ﷺ took the shirt to denote religion.
