أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَامَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا تَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَلْبَسَ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ فِي الإِحْرَامِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تَلْبَسُوا الْقُمُصَ وَلاَ السَّرَاوِيلاَتِ وَلاَ الْخِفَافَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلٌ لَهُ نَعْلاَنِ فَلْيَلْبَسِ الْخُفَّيْنِ أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَلاَ يَلْبَسْ شَيْئًا مِنَ الثِّيَابِ مَسَّهُ الزَّعْفَرَانُ وَلاَ الْوَرْسُ وَلاَ تَنْتَقِبُ الْمَرْأَةُ الْحَرَامُ وَلاَ تَلْبَسُ الْقُفَّازَيْنِ " .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
A man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah! What garments do you command us to wear in Ihram?" The Messenger of Allah said; "Do not wear shirts, or pants, or Khuffs unless a man does not have any sandals, in which case he may wear Khuffs that come lower than the ankles. And do not wear any garment that has been touched by (dyed with) saffron or Wars. And a woman in Ihram should not cover her face or wear gloves."

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2681
This Hadith explains clear Ihram clothing rules for men and women during Hajj or Umrah. A man asked the Messenger of Allah what garments should be worn in Ihram. The Prophet did not list what to wear first; instead, he explained what should not be worn. He mentioned shirts, pants, and Khuffs. But he also gave an exception: if a man has no sandals, he may wear Khuffs that come lower than the ankles. The Hadith also warns against wearing garments touched by saffron or Wars dye. For women in Ihram, it states that they should not cover the face with a niqab or wear gloves. The main message is simple: Ihram has its own dress limits, and a pilgrim should follow them carefully.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ihram has specific clothing limits that pilgrims should respect.
- Men without sandals are allowed to wear shortened Khuffs below the ankles.
- Garments dyed with saffron or Wars are not to be worn in Ihram.
- A woman in Ihram should not wear niqab or gloves, as stated in the Hadith.
