Q
What can be learned about the Prophet’s (ﷺ) interactions with his companions from this incident?
A
I asked Jabir bin `Abdullah about praying in a single garment. He said, “I traveled with the Prophet (ﷺ)
during some of his journeys, and I came to him at night for some purpose and I found him praying. At
that time, I was wearing a single garment with which I covered my shoulders and prayed by his side.
When he finished the prayer, he asked, ‘O Jabir! What has brought you here?’ I told him what I
wanted. When I finished, he asked, ‘O Jabir! What is this garment which I have seen and with which
you covered your shoulders?’ I replied, ‘It is a (tight) garment.’ He said, ‘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.)’ ”
