Authentic hadithNarrated by Bukhari & Muslim
None of you should pray in a single garment with nothing on his shoulders
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ يُصَلِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الثَّوْبِ الوَاحِدِ لَيْسَ عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ شَيْءٌ».
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited the one praying in a single garment from leaving his shoulders, i.e., what is between the shoulder and the neck, uncovered without putting anything on them to cover them. This is because although the shoulders are not ‘Awrah (must-cover body parts), yet covering them guarantees better concealment of the ‘Awrah, besides being closer to showing reverence and glorification to Allah Almighty while standing before Him in prayer.
