In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Abdullah ibn Umar, RadhiAllahu Anhuma, reported: The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
مَنْ جَرَّ ثَوْبَهُ خُيَلَاءَ لَمْ يَنْظُرْ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
Whoever drags his garment out of pride will not be looked upon by Allah on the Day of Resurrection.
Abu Bakr, RadhiAllahu Anhu, said, “Indeed, one of my robes will slide down unless I am cautious about it.” The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ تَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ خُيَلَاءَ
Verily, you are not doing it out of pride.

Jabir ibn Sulaim, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: I saw a man whose opinion was followed by everyone and no one would contradict what he said. I asked who he was and I was told he was the Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam. I said to him twice, “Upon you be peace, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
لَا تَقُلْ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ تَحِيَّةُ الْمَيِّتِ قُلْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ
Do not say upon you be peace, for that is the greeting for the dead in the time of ignorance. Rather say peace be upon you.
I asked, “Are you the Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي إِذَا أَصَابَكَ ضُرٌّ فَدَعَوْتَهُ كَشَفَهُ عَنْكَ وَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ عَامُ سَنَةٍ فَدَعَوْتَهُ أَنْبَتَهَا لَكَ وَإِذَا كُنْتَ بِأَرْضٍ قَفْرَاءَ أَوْ فَلَاةٍ فَضَلَّتْ رَاحِلَتُكَ فَدَعَوْتَهُ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْكَ
I am the Messenger of Allah, Allah who will remove your affliction when you are distressed and you call upon him, who will cause food to grow for you when you are starving and call to him, who will restore your lost animal in the desert when you call upon him.
I said, “Give me instructions.” The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
لَا تَسُبَّنَّ أَحَدًا
Do not abuse anyone.
I have not abused anyone since, neither a freeman, nor a slave, nor a camel, nor a sheep. The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
وَلَا تَحْقِرَنَّ شَيْئًا مِنْ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَنْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَأَنْتَ مُنْبَسِطٌ إِلَيْهِ وَجْهُكَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَارْفَعْ إِزَارَكَ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَإِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمَخِيلَةَ وَإِنْ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ وَعَيَّرَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ فِيكَ فَلَا تُعَيِّرْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا وَبَالُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ
Do not hold in contempt a small act of goodness, because even speaking to your brother with a cheerful face is an act of goodness. Hold up your lower garment halfway to the leg and at least above the ankles, for trailing it is arrogance and Allah dislikes pride. If a man disparages you because of bad qualities he knows you have, then do not disparage him for the bad qualities you know he has. Verily, he will only earn the consequences of his abuse.

Abu Huraira, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, saw a man performing his prayer with his lower garment trailing and he said:
اذْهَبْ فَتَوَضَّأْ
Go and perform ablution again.
The man went and came back after performing it. The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
اذْهَبْ فَتَوَضَّأْ
Go and perform ablution again.
Someone said, “O Messenger of Allah, you asked him to perform ablution but you did not give the reason.” The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
نَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مُسْبِلٌ إِزَارَهُ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَا يَقْبَلُ صَلَاةَ رَجُلٍ مُسْبِلٍ إِزَارَهُ

The garment of a Muslim should be halfway down his shins and there is no harm if it comes between that and the ankles, but whatever is lower than the ankles is in the Hellfire. Whoever trails his garment out of vanity, Allah will never look at him.

O Abdullah, raise your garment.
I lifted it up and he told me to raise it higher and I did so. Some of the people said, “To where should it be raised?” The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
أَنْصَافِ السَّاقَيْنِ
In the middle of the shins.

Umm Salamah, RadhiAllahu Anha, said, “O Messenger of Allah, what should the women do with the hem of their clothes?” The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
تُرْخِينَهُ شِبْرًا
Lower it by a hand’s length.
She said, “What if their feet are uncovered?” The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:
تُرْخِينَهُ ذِرَاعًا لَا تَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ
Lower it by an arm’s length but not more than that.
