If he wants to prostrate, he lifts his pants; is this from covering the garment?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There is a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which, as narrated by Ibn Abbas, he commanded that one prostrate on seven limbs in prayer and not cover hair or clothing. How does one cover the hair and clothing? And I, during prayer, when I want to prostrate, I lift my pants from the thigh area and then prostrate. Is this considered covering the clothing? And is covering the hair and clothing disliked or forbidden?
Answer: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said this, saying: He commanded that one prostrate on seven bones and not cover hair or clothing. The meaning is that if the one praying wants to prostrate and has hair or a turban on him, he does not lift it from the ground; he prostrates and it prostrates with him. He does not lift it for the sake of prostration out of fear for it from the dust. He prostrates with it. This is the meaning, whether it is a turban, a cloak, a robe, or something else, or pants or something else. He prostrates on it and leaves its ends to prostrate on the ground. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
