Ikrimah said that he saw Ibn Abbas putting on lower garment, letting the hem on the top of his foot and raising it behind. He said: Why do you put on the lower garment in this way? He replied: It is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do it.
The hadith also teaches us an important lesson about respecting those who have knowledge and experience more than ourselves. When Ibn Abbas asked why he was wearing his lower garment in a certain way, he replied by saying it was how he saw the Messenger of Allah do it - showing respect for what he knew from experience rather than questioning or doubting it.
