Etiquettes of Wearing Clothes
The
Messenger of Allah B used to
wear whatever was available; a waist-sheet, a loincloth, a shirt, or a cloak.
He preferred to wear white clothes. He [said concerning them]: "Let the
living among you wear them and enshroud the dead therewith." He had a cloak
dyed with saffron and sometimes he would perform the prayer wearing it. He
would wear only one garment. He would wear a waist-sheet only tying up its two
ends between his shoulders. He would lead the people in the funeral prayer
wearing it. He would perform prayer in his house wearing that waist-sheet. It
might happen that he wore that waist-sheet while having sexual intercourse with
one of his wives.
He
wore a ring and took a seal to seal his letters therewith. He would wear a
skull cap under his turban, and sometimes he would not wear a turban. If there
was not a turban, he would tie his head with a band. He used to wear his
garment or footwear beginning with his right side praying unto Allah:
"Praise be to Allah Who granted it to me to cover my `awrah and to
embellish myself among people." He had a mattress of palm fibes to sleep
on. Sometimes he would sleep on a mat.
