Putting on clothing while sitting on a mat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you) said that sitting and being imprisoned are called wearing clothing, as in the hadith
Anas said: "So I got up and brought a reed mat of ours that had turned black from long use,أَنَسٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى حَصِيرٍ لَنَا قَدِ اسْوَدَّ مِنْ طُولِ مَا لُبِسَ
Sunan an-Nasa'i 801Sahih (Darussalam)
.

Answer:
No, no, this is not a common or known usage. Sitting is not called wearing clothing in the general language of the Arabs; rather, this is a specific usage. Yes, "long as it was worn" means "long as it was used." Yes.
