Sahih (Darussalam)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَمْ تَجُرُّ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ ذَيْلِهَا قَالَ ‏‏ شِبْرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ إِذًا يَنْكَشِفَ عَنْهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ذِرَاعٌ لاَ تَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏"
It was narrated that Umm Salamah said:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about how long a woman's hem should hang down. He said: "A hand span.' I said: "But then (her legs and feet) will be uncovered.' He said: "Then a forearm's length, but no more than that.'"
