[The كساء was evidently a simple oblong piece of cloth; for الكِسَايأِى is said to have been thus named because he wore a كساء while in the state of إِحْرَام; as is mentioned in the TA, art. كسو; but it seems to have been sometimes sewed in the manner of the عَبَآء, which see; and see also مُسَيَّحٌ, and بُرْدٌ.] It is [properly] not one of the garments which are cut and sewed [but is a single piece]: (Mgh, art. قطع:) [a wrapper, or wrapping garment, of a single piece]. ― -b3- رَكِبَ كِسَآءَهُ He fell upon the back of his neck.
