Sahih Al Bukhari (361)

عن سعيد بن الحارث قال: سألنا جابر بن عبد الله، عن الصلاة في الثوب الواحد، فقال: خرجت مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في بعض أسفاره، فجئت ليلة لبعض أمري، فوجدته يصلي، وعلى ثوب واحد، فاشتملت به، وصليت إلى جانيه، فلما انصرف قال: (ما السري يا جابر). فأخبرته بحاجتي، فلما فرغت قال: (ما هذا الاشتمال الذي رأيت). قلت: كان ثوب، يعني ضاق، قال: (فإن كان واسعا فالتحف به، وإن ضيقا فاتزر به).

Sa`id ibn Al Harith reported: I asked Jabir ibn `Abdullah about praying in a single garment. He said: “I traveled with the Prophet (peace be upon him) 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 "( .
