«إذا اتسع الثوب فتعطف به على منكبيك ثم صل, وإن ضاق عن ذلك فشد به حقوك ثم صل بغير رداء» . (صحيح) … [حم الطحاوي] عن جابر. صحيح السنن 644: م, د, هق)
It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
‘If it the garment is wide enough, then cross both its ends over the shoulders, but if it is tight, then tie it around your waist and pray without the upper garment’
This hadith was narrated by Ahmad 3/335 and at-Tahavi 1/382 from the words of Jabir.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See Saheeh al-jami ‘as-saghir 271, Abu Dawud 634.
