أَخْبَرَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنْ جَرَّ ثَوْبَهُ مِنَ الْخُيَلاَءِ لَمْ يَنْظُرِ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ النِّسَاءُ بِذُيُولِهِنَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ تُرْخِينَهُ شِبْرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ إِذًا تَنْكَشِفَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ تُرْخِينَهُ ذِرَاعًا لاَ تَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
