Question

I want to know regarding the authenticity of a narration I read:

One of the wives Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was once unable to put on the lower garment [izar] for the Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). The garment would keep falling off due to the nur (celestial light) of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

Answer

The Moroccan Hadith Scholar of the recent past, Shaykh ‘Abdullah Al Ghumari (rahimahullah) has declared this narration a fabrication.

(Murshidul Ha-ir Li Bayani Wad’i Hadhithi Jabir, pg. 29)

The Hadith should not be quoted.

Also see here.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

مرشد الحائر: (ص: ٢٩)
ومن الكذب السخيف ما يقال إن إحدى أمهات المؤمنين أرادت أن تلف إزارًا على جسد النبيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فسقط الإزار أي لأنه نور، وهذا لا أصل له. وقد كان النبيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يستعمل الإزار ولم يسقط عنه.
