[789] عن أُمِّ سَلَمَة رضي الله عنها قالت : كَانَ أحَبُّ الثِّيَابِ إِلَى رسول الله الْقَمِيص . رواه أَبُو داود والترمذي ، وقال : ( حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ) . قيل : وجه أحبية القميص أنه أستر للأعضاء من الإزار ، والرداء لأنه أقل مؤنة ، وأخف على البدن ، ولابسه أكثر تواضعًا . وروي أنه كان قميص رسول الله قطنًا قصير الطول والكمين .
789. Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Out of all garments Messenger of Allah (PBUH) liked Qamees the best.
[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
Commentary: Qamees is a piece of clothing with two sleeves, generally made of sewn cotton and worn under the rest of the clothes. In the lifetime of the Prophet (PBUH) the Arabs would commonly use two simple sheets of cloth as dress, one covering the lower part of body and one wrapping its upper part. Qamees was also in vogue but very few people used it. No doubt it covers the body adequately and is also comparatively convenient. So, the Prophet (PBUH) liked it most.
