Narrated Said bin Al-Harith: I asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah about praying in a single garment. He said. "I travelled with the Prophet during some of his journeys and I came to him at night for some purpose and I found him praying. At that time.

'If the garment is large enough wrap it round the body (covering the shoulders) and if it is tight (too short) then use it as an Izar (tie it around your waist only.)' " Volume 1. Book 8. Number 357
