How did Jabir pray when he had nothing on his shoulders, and the hadith forbids that?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, he says

Jabir led them in prayer in [his] lower garment which he had tied at the nape of his neck

صلى جابر في إزار قد عقده من قبل قفاه

So he had nothing of it on his shoulder. Yes.

The questioner : The prohibition...

The Shaykh : Yes, the prohibition

No one of you should pray in a single garment with no part of it on his shoulder.

لا يصلي أحدكم بالثوب الواحد ليس على عاتقه منه شيء

is only on the basis of recommendation, not on the basis of prohibition. Yes.
