RASULULLAH’S (SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM) DRESS
Rasulullah’s trousers-
“Ubaid bin Khaalid(Radiahllahu anhu) says, “While I was once walking in Madeenah Munawwarah I heard someone calling from behind (and saying): ‘Raise your trousers for verily, it is holier and more protective (for the trousers-preventing it from being soiled and worn out at the edges by its dragging along the ground).’
I (Ubaid) turned around and saw Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and replied:
‘Oh Rasulullah, this is an old and cheap trousers (meaning thereby that it does not matter if it gets won or soiled)
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) replied: ‘Does my example (practice) not suffice for you?’
I (Ubaid) glanced at Rasulullah’s (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) trouser and saw that it was high above the ankles.
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
‘ It is not permissible for the trousers to be on the ankles’
‘He who wears his trousers below his ankles will be in the fire’
Rasulullah’s Kurtah-
“Umme Salma (Radiallahu anha) said: The dress which Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) preferred most was the Kurtah (Qamees).”
The Holy Messenger of Allah preferred to wear a white kurtah made out of cotton. The sleeves of Rasulullah’s (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) kurtah reached his wrists and the length of the kurtah was about 6inches below the Knees. This is reported in all the authentic Hadeeth books.
“ Ibn Abbass (Radiallahu Anhu) said: Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: ‘choose white wearing apperal for donning in your lifetime, and cover your dead in white (kafan), for verily, white is of the best among your clothing.’”
“Samurah Bin Jurab (Radiallahu anhu) said: Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Don white clothing for verily it is purer. And bury your dead in white.’”
