حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، - عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، - رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ " السَّرَاوِيلُ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ الإِزَارَ وَالْخُفَّانِ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ النَّعْلَيْنِ " . يَعْنِي الْمُحْرِمَ .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say as he was delivering an address: So far as the trousers are concerned, one who does not find lower garment, he may wear them; as also socks, he may wear them who does not find shoes. It concerns the Muhrim.

This Ihram clothing exceptions hadith gives two simple allowances for a Muhrim. Ibn 'Abbas reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say in an address that trousers are for the one who does not find a lower garment, and socks are for the one who does not find shoes.

The Hadith shows that the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم answer was clear, practical, and tied to a real need.
