حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَدِمَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَيْتِي فَأَتَاهُ فَقَرَعَ الْبَابَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عُرْيَانًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ عُرْيَانًا قَبْلَهُ وَلاَ بَعْدَهُ فَاعْتَنَقَهُ وَقَبَّلَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
Narrated 'Aishah: "Zaid Bin Harithah Arrived In Al-Madinah While The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Was In His House. So He Went And Knocked At The Door, So The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Stood Naked (1), Dragging His Garment - And By Allah! I Did Not See Him Naked Before Nor Afterwards - And He Hugged Him And Kissed Him." (1) They Say That The Meaning Of Naked Here Is That He Was Not Wearing His Rida Or Upper Wrap And It Was That Which Was Dragging, So The Area Between The Navel And Knees Were Covered. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2732
This Hadith describes Zaid bin Harithah arriving in Madinah while the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم was in the house of Aishah. Zaid knocked at the door, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم went to him, dragging his garment, then hugged and kissed him. The translation also includes a note explaining that naked here means he was not wearing the upper wrap, while the area between the navel and knees was covered. This Hadith about hugging on arrival shows warmth and love in a special meeting. It should not be mixed with the earlier narration about normal greetings, because this text speaks about Zaid arriving and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم showing affection to him.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم showed clear affection to Zaid when he arrived.
- A hug and kiss are mentioned in this specific arrival setting.
- The explanatory note protects proper understanding of the word naked.
- Different greeting situations should not be confused with each other.
