Riyad as-Salihin 800 (Book 3, Hadith 23) #37289
Lowering Garments with Humility

SUMMARY: Lowering one's garment out of arrogance is not acceptable to Allah, and women should lower their garments a hand's span or an arm's length.

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not look at the one who trails his lower garment out of arrogance". Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) asked: "What should women do with the hem of their clothes?" He said, "They might lower them a hand's span". She said: "But their feet would still remain exposed". He said, "Let them lower them equal to arm's length but not more than that". Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi.
وعنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ من جر ثوبه خيلاء لم ينظر الله إليه يوم القيامة‏"‏ فقالت أم سلمة‏:‏ فكيف تصنع النساء بذيولهن، قال‏:‏ ‏"‏يرخين شبراً‏"‏ قالت‏:‏ ِإذاً تنكشف أقدامهن‏.‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏فيرخينه ذراعاً لا يزدن‏"‏‏.((رواه أبو داود والترمذي))

This hadith speaks about the importance of humility in our clothing choices. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that lowering one’s garment out of arrogance is not acceptable to Allah. Umm Salamah asked what women should do with the hem of their clothes and he replied that they can lower them a hand’s span or an arm’s length but no more than that. This hadith teaches us to dress modestly without any pride or arrogance in our hearts. We must remember that we are accountable for all our actions before God on the Day of Judgment and so it is important to dress modestly as a sign of humility before Him.
