Mishkat al-Masabih 5241 — (Ar-riqaq) Words that soften the heart

AbuHurayrah Narrated from:

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه narrated that he had counted seventy members of the ashab us suffah, not one man of them had a cloak (to put over another garment. All of them had just one piece of clothing). They had either the waist wrapper or a small blanket tied at their necks. Some of these came half way down the legs and some up to the ankles. One would need to hold it fast in his hand lest his private parts be visible. [2]
