SUFFA

470

“Abu Hurairah knew seventy of the Companions of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, known as the Suffa and not one of them possessed a cloak, a top and a bottom. They possessed either a loin cloth or a covering which they threw over their necks and hung either to the mid-calf or down to their ankles. They kept it in place with their hands lest their genitalia might be exposed.”

Bukhari with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related this.
