Question

Is it true that the sleeves of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would come to his wrist?

 

Answer

Sayyidah Asma bintu Yazid (radiyallahu ‘anha) reports:

“The sleeves [of the upper garment] of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would come to his wrist”

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1765 and Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 4023)

 

Imam Tirmidhi has declared the Hadith sound (hasan).

 

 

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
