Hadith #68

وَ اَلَّذِي رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تُصَلِّي فِي دِرْعٍ وَ خِمَارٍ فَقَالَ« تَكُونُ عَلَيْهَا مِلْحَفَةٌ تَضُمُّهَا عَلَيْهَا»

And what was narrated by Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Jamil ibn Darraj, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah , peace be upon him, about a woman praying in a dir‘ (long shirt) and a khimar (head covering). Imam said: "There should be over her a milhafah (outer wrap) that she gathers around herself."
