5339. It was narrated from Umm Salamah that she mentioned women's hems to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Let it down a hand span." Umm Salamah said: "But that will uncover (her feet)." He said: "Let it down a forearm's length, but no more than that." (Sahih)

Arabic text

5337 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذُيُولَ النِّسَاءِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا» قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: إِذًا يَنْكَشِفَ عَنْهَا، قَالَ: «تُرْخِي ذِرَاعًا، لَا تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ»
