Musnad Ahmad Hadith 14518

Saeed bin Harith says that once we went to Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). He was wrapped in a single cloth and was praying, although another sheet was lying so close to him that if he wanted to stretch out his hand and pick it up, his hand could easily reach it. When he finished the prayer with salam, we asked him about this issue. He replied, "I did this so that fools like you may also see, and so that the concession which the Prophet (peace be upon him) has given may spread among the people through Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then he said, "Once I went out on a journey with the Prophet (peace be upon him). I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) at night, and he was praying in a single cloth. I also had only one cloth on my body, so I wrapped it around myself and stood by the side of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Jabir, what is this way of wrapping?' When you stand for prayer and you have only one cloth and it is wide, then wrap it well around yourself, and if it is tight, then make it like a waist-wrapper (tahband)."
