378. Abū Hurairah narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ prohibited As-Sadl in the Ṣalāt." (Ḍa'if)
[He said:] There is a narration on this topic from Abū Juhaifah.
Abū 'Eisā said: We do not know the Hadīth of Abū Hurairah, as a narration of 'Aṭā' from Abū Hurairah to be Marfū', except from the narration of Isl bin Sufyān.
The people of knowledge have differed over As-Sadl in Ṣalāt. Some of them disliked As-Sadl in Ṣalāt. They said that this is something the Jews do. Some of them said that As-Sadl is only disliked in Ṣalāt when the person is wearing only one garment, but when he (wears a garment in a manner that constitutes As-Sadl)
over the shirt, then there is no harm. This is the view of Ahmad. Ishāq disliked As-Sadl in Ṣalāt.

Commentary
The definition of 'Sadl'; There is difference of opinion about this, there are four opinions about it:
1. To leave the cloth open at the front, without tying and wrapping around the body; in the case of tying and putting around the body, it will not then be called Sadl.
2. Wrapping a cloth around the body keeping the hands inside, and to make Rukū' and Sujūd being in the same condition, this was the custom of Jews. Wearing a shirt or anything else under the cloth makes no difference.
3. To place the middle of the garment over the head and to drop the sides to the right and left without having anything over the shoulders.
4. To leave the cloth dropped down until it touches the ground, i.e. to drag the lower garment on the ground
According 'Allāmah 'Irāqī, leaving the hair open and lose is also included in Sadl.
In the view of Shah Waliullāh, it means such a look and appearance which is against the customary habit and it is contradictory to beauty and good looks. [Hujjatullāhil-Bālighah: 1/195]
