339. ‘Umar bin Abī Salamah narrated that he saw Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ performing Ṣalāt in the house of Umm Salamah wrapped in one garment. (Ṣaḥīh)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah, Jābir, Salamah bin Al-Akwa’, Anas, ‘Amr bin Abī Asīd, Abū Sa’eed, Kaisān, Ibn ‘Abbās, ‘Āishah, Umm Hānī, ‘Ammār bin Yāsir, Ṭalq bin ‘Alī, and ‘Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit Al-Anṣārī.
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of ‘Umar bin Abī Salamah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh Ḥadīth.
This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and those after them among the Tābi‘īn and others. They say that there is no harm in performing Ṣalāt in one garment.
Some of the people of knowledge have said that a man should perform Ṣalāt in two garments.

Commentary
Covering the Satr for prayer is a condition, clothing more than that is better and more virtuous; for men if the cloth is short it should be worn around the waist; if it is bigger then it should be tied on the neck, and if it is even bigger then the shoulders should be covered fully. If the clothes are more than one, then the good extent of beauty and elegance will be better; therefore every person should wear clothes for prayer according to his best capability, means and circumstances.
