Riyad as-Salihin 799 (Book 3, Hadith 22) #37288
Modest Clothing According to the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) instructed Ibn 'Umar to raise his lower garment to a certain length.

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: My lower garment was trailing as I passed by the Messenger of Allah so he said, "Raise your lower garment, Abdullah". I lifted it up and he told me to raise it higher. I complied with his orders and as I was still trying to find the best place (for it), one of the people asked where it should reach and he replied, "Half way down the knees". Muslim.
وعن ابن عمر رضى الله عنهما قال‏:‏ مررت على رسول الله وفى إزاري استرخاء، فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏يا عبد الله، ارفع إزارك‏"‏ فرفعت ثم قال‏:‏ ‏"‏زد‏"‏، فزدت، فما زلت أتحراها بعد‏.‏ فقال بعض القوم‏:‏ إلى أين ‏؟‏ فقال‏:‏ إلى أنصاف الساقين‏"‏‏.‏‏((رواه مسلم))‏
