حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الإِسْكَنْدَرَانِيُّ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ لُبْسَتَيْنِ الصَّمَّاءِ وَأَنْ يَحْتَبِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِثَوْبِهِ لَيْسَ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَجَابِرٍ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ . وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1758
This hadith about two prohibited types of dress focuses on modest covering. Abu Hurairah narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم prohibited As-Sama' and also prohibited a man from sitting with his legs drawn up in a garment while nothing from it covers his private area. The second part is very clear: the concern is exposure of the private area. The first term is named in the narration, and the text does not explain it in detail here, so the explanation should not overdefine it. For searches like prohibited dress hadith and covering private area hadith, this narration shows that clothing and sitting posture are connected to proper covering.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم prohibited two forms of dress in this report.
- One stated concern is sitting in a way that leaves the private area uncovered.
- The Hadith links clothing practice with modest covering.
- Terms not explained in the text should not be expanded without care.
