14. Anas, may Allāh Most High be pleased with him, said: “When the Prophet ﷺ wanted to relieve himself, he would not raise his garment until he was close to the ground.” (Da‘if)
Abū ‘Eisā said: This is how Muhammad bin Rabī‘ah reported this Hadīth: “from Al-A‘mash, from Anas.”
Wakī‘, and [Abū Yaḥya] Al-Ḥimṣānī reported that Al-A‘mash said: “Ibn ‘Umar, may Allāh Most High be pleased with him, said, ‘When the Prophet ﷺ wanted to relieve himself, he would not raise his garment until he was close to
the ground.”
Both of the Aḥādīth are Mursal. They say that Al-A'mash did not hear from Anas, nor any of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. But he saw Anas bin Mālik. He said, “I saw him praying.” And he mentioned something about him regarding the prayer. And Al-A'mash's name is Sulaimān bin Mihrān, Abū Muḥammad Al-Kāhilī, being their freed slave. Al-A'mash said, “My father was a Ḥamil,[1] so he made Masrūq an heir.”
