Summary
Malik transmits from Abu Bakr ibn Nafi, from his father Nafi, client of Ibn Umar, from Safiyya bint Abi Ubayd, that she told him from Umm Salama, wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that when the waist-wrapper was mentioned she said: what about women, Messenger of God? He said: let them lower it a span. Umm Salama said: then their feet would be uncovered. He said: then a cubit, and no more. 1
