Hadhrat Kharasha bin Hurr reports that he was once looking at Hadhrat Umar RA as a youngster passed by wearing his loincloth below his ankles and dragging it along as he walked. Hadhrat Umar RA called for him and asked, "Are you menstruating?" "What! O Ameerul Mu'mineen," asked the youngster in surprise, "do men also menstruate?" Hadhrat Umar RA replied, "then what is the matter with you hanging your garment below your ankles?" Hadhrat Umar RA then sent for a knife, gathered the end of the loincloth and cut off whatever hung beneath the ankles. Hadhrat Kharasha says, "It is as if I can still see the threads dangling over his heels." [1]
