Length of Women's Hems

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised women to wear their hems at a certain length, no more than a forearm's length.

It was narrated from Umm Salamah that: She mentioned women's hems to the Messenger of Allah SAW, and the Messenger of Allah SAW said: "Let it down a hand span". Umm Salamah said: "But that will uncover (her feet)". He said: "Let it down a forearm's length, but no more than that".
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ذُيُولَ النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ إِذًا يَنْكَشِفَ عَنْهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ تُرْخِي ذِرَاعًا لاَ تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ
