Sahih al-Bukhari 365 (Book 8, Hadith 17) #361
Dressing Properly During Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of dressing properly during prayer and how one can do so with limited resources.

Narrated Abu Huraira: A man stood up and asked the Prophet about praying in a single garment. The Prophet said, "Has every one of you two garments?" A man put a similar question to 'Umar on which he replied, "When Allah makes you wealthier then you should clothe yourself properly during prayers. Otherwise one can pray with an Izar and a Rida' (a sheet covering the upper part of the body) Izar and a shirt, Izar and a Qaba', trousers and a Rida, trousers and a shirt or trousers and a Qaba', Tubban and a Qaba' or Tubban and a shirt". (The narrator added, "I think that he also said a Tubban and a Rida".)
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْوَاحِدِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَوَكُلُّكُمْ يَجِدُ ثَوْبَيْنِ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِذَا وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ فَأَوْسِعُوا، جَمَعَ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابَهُ، صَلَّى رَجُلٌ فِي إِزَارٍ وَرِدَاءٍ، فِي إِزَارٍ وَقَمِيصٍ، فِي إِزَارٍ وَقَبَاءٍ، فِي سَرَاوِيلَ وَرِدَاءٍ، فِي سَرَاوِيلَ وَقَمِيصٍ، فِي سَرَاوِيلَ وَقَبَاءٍ، فِي تُبَّانٍ وَقَبَاءٍ، فِي تُبَّانٍ وَقَمِيصٍ ـ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ ـ فِي تُبَّانٍ وَرِدَاءٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Huraira, speaks to the importance of dressing properly during prayer. It is important to dress modestly and cover oneself appropriately when praying. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught that if one has two garments, they should use them both for prayer. If not, then they can use a combination of items such as an Izar and Rida’ or trousers and a shirt or Tubban and a Qaba’ to cover themselves adequately while praying. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our clothing choices when engaging in religious activities such as prayer, even if we have limited resources available to us. We should strive to dress modestly in order to show respect for Allah's commands.
