Hadith #16
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدٌ الْعَمِّى
ُّ عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الذَّيْلِ شِبْرًا فَاسْتَزَدْنَهُ فَزَادَهُنَّ شِبْرًا آخَرَ فَجَعَلْنَهُ ذِرَاعًا فَكُنَّ يُرْسِلْنَ إِلَيْنَا نَذْرَعُ لَهُنَّ ذِرَاعًا

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Yahya, from Sufyan, from Zayd al-'Ammi, from Abu al-Siddiq — that he said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted the Mothers of the Believers a concession of one handspan for the hem of [their garments]. They asked for more, so he gave them another handspan — making it one cubit [dhira']. They would then send [word] to us to measure out a cubit [of trailing hem] for them.'
