The "May Allah have mercy upon those who wear trousers" is fabricated and has no basis. However, trousers are among the most concealing garments and were known during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Companions, for both men and women. A woman is not obligated to wear them at home if modesty is achieved by other means, for the purpose is to cover the 'awrah from those for whom it is unlawful to look at it.
