Sahih

إِذَا كَانَ الثَّوْبُ ضَيِّقًا

If the garment is tight

كَانَ رِجَالٌ يُصَلُّونَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَاقِدِي أُزْرِهِمْ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ كَهَيْئَةِ الصِّبْيَانِ، وَقَالَ لِلنِّسَاءِ لاَ تَرْفَعْنَ رُءُوسَكُنَّ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ الرِّجَالُ جُلُوسًا.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ

Translation

Sahl ibn Sa'd reported: Men used to pray with the Prophet ﷺ with their waist-wrappers tied around their necks like children. And he said to the women, “Do not raise your heads until the men are sitting upright.”

Translator’s note: Because of the scanty clothing, the women were not to see anything of the men's private parts. Other versions read: “and the women were told”.

Deutsch

Sahl ibn Sa'd berichtete: Männer pflegten mit dem Propheten ﷺ zu beten, wobei sie ihre Hüftschurze wie Kinder an ihrem Nacken geknotet hatten. Und er sagte zu den Frauen: „Hebt eure Köpfe nicht, bis die Männer aufrecht sitzen.“

Translator’s note: Wegen der knappen Kleidung sollten die Frauen nichts von der Blöße der Männer sehen. In anderen Fassungen heißt es: „und den Frauen wurde gesagt“.

Türkçe

Sehl b. Sa'd (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Bazı adamlar, izarlarını çocuklar gibi boyunlarına bağlamış olarak Nebî ﷺ ile birlikte namaz kılarlardı. Kadınlara da şöyle dedi: “Erkekler doğrulup oturuncaya kadar başlarınızı kaldırmayın.”

Translator’s note: Elbiselerin darlığı sebebiyle kadınlar erkeklerin avret yerlerinden bir şey görmesin diye. Başka rivayetlerde “kadınlara denildi” şeklindedir.
