Question
Is it true that the sleeves of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would come to his wrist?
Answer
Sayyidah Asma bintu Yazid (radiyallahu ‘anha) reports:
“The sleeves [of the upper garment] of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would come to his wrist”
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1765 and Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 4023)
Imam Tirmidhi has declared the Hadith sound (hasan).
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
