1736. Nāfiʿ narrated that Ibn ʿUmar said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would wear an Imāmah, his Imāmah would hang between his shoulders." (Ḥasan) Nāfiʿ said: "Ibn ʿUmar would hang his Imāmah between his shoulders." ʿUbaidullāh said: "And I saw Al-Qāsim and Sālim doing that." [Abū ʿEisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb. [And there is something on this topic from 'Alī]And the Ḥadīth of 'Alī about this isnot correct due to its chain.
١٧٣٦ - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا اعْتَمَّ سَدَلَ» عِمَامَتَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ. قَالَ نَافِعٌ: وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَسْدِلُ عِمَامَتَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ: وَرَأَيْتُ الْقَاسِمَ وَسَالِمًا يَفْعَلَانِ ذَلِكَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَلَا يَصِحُّ حَدِيثُ عَلِيٍّ فِي هَذَا مِنْ قِبَلِ إِسْنَادِهِ.

[1] A turban, but not restricted to what is commonly thought of as a turban.
The Ḥadīth tells us that the right way to wear the Imāmah according to Sunnah is to put the end of it between the two shoulders since the Prophet ﷺ used to hang its loose end between the shoulders. (For details see Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhī, v.3, ps.47-49)
