    • (Can we date this quote?), al-Nasāʾī, السنن الصغرى [The Lesser Collection]:
      قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْإِسْبَالُ فِي الْإِزَارِ، وَالْقَمِيصِ، وَالْعِمَامَةِ مَنْ جَرَّ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا خُيَلَاءَ لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
      Dangling is about lower garments, the robe, and the headdress: whosoever trails along any of these out of self-delusion, ʾAllāh does not look at him on the Day of Resurrection.
