حديث الْبَرَاءِ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، بِسَبْعٍ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعِ: أَمَرَنَا بِعِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ، وَاتِّبَاعِ الْجِنَازَةِ، وَتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ، وَإِجَابَةِ الدَّاعِي، وَإِفْشَاءِ السَّلَامِ، وَنَصْرِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَإِبْرَارِ الْمُقْسِمِ؛ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ خَوَاتِيمِ الذَّهَبِ، ⦗٣٢⦘ وَعَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي الْفِضَّةِ، أَوْ قَالَ: آنِيَةِ الْفِضَّةِ، وَعَنِ الْمَيَاثِرِ وَالْقَسِّيِّ، وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَالإِسْتَبْرَقِ.
Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered us to do seven things and forbade us from seven. He ordered us (1) to visit the sick, (2) to follow funeral processions, (3) (to say) to a sneezer, (May Allāh bestow His Mercy on you, if he says, Praise be to Allāh), (4) to accept invitations, (5) to propagate As-Salām (greeting) i.e. to greet one another, (6) to help the oppressed and (7) to help others to fulfil their oaths. He forbade us to wear gold rings, to drink in silver (utensils), to use Mayathir (silken carpets placed on saddles), to wear Al-Qissi (a kind of silken cloth), to wear silk, Dibâj or Istabraq (two kinds of silk). ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 539, Vol. 7 )
حديث حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا عِنْدَ حُذَيْفَةَ، فَاسْتَسْقَى، فَسَقَاهُ مَجُوسِيٌّ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ الْقَدَحَ فِي يَدِهِ رَمَاهُ بِهِ، وَقَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي نَهَيْتُهُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ هذَا وَلكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَلْبَسُوا الْحَرِيرَ وَلَا الدِّيبَاجَ وَلَا تَشْرَبُوا فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ، وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا فِي صِحَافِهَا، فَإِنَّهَا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَنَا فِي الآخِرَةِ.
We were sitting in the company of Hudhaifa who asked for water and a Magian brought him water. But when he placed the cup in his hand, he threw it at him and said, “Had I not forbidden him to do so more than once or twice.” He wanted to say, “I would not have done so,” adding, “But I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, ‘Do not wear silk or Dibâj, and do not drink in silver or golden vessels, and do not eat in plates of such metals, for such things are for the disbelievers in this worldly life and for us in the Hereafter.’” ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 337, Vol. 7 )
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عَمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَأَى حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوِ اشْتَرَيْتَ هذِهِ فَلَبِسْتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا ⦗٣٣⦘ قَدِمُوا عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هذِهِ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِثُمَّ جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، مِنْهَا حُلَلٌ فَأَعْطَى عُمَرَ ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنها مِنْهَا حُلَّةً فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَسَوْتَنِيَهَا، وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِي حُلَّةِ عُطَارِدٍ مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا فَكَسَاهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنها، أَخًا لَهُ، بِمَكَّةَ، مُشْرِكًا.
‘Umar bin Al-Khattâb رضي الله عنه saw a silken cloak (being sold) at the gate of the mosque and said to Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, “I wish you would buy this to wear on Fridays and also on occasions of the arrivals of the delegations.” Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, “This will be worn by a person who will have no share (reward) in the Hereafter.”Later on similar cloaks were given to Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and he gave one of them to ‘Umar bin Al-Khattâb رضي الله عنه. On that ‘Umar said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! You have given me this cloak although on the cloak of ‘Utârid (a cloak merchant who was selling that silken cloak at the gate of the mosque) you passed such and such a remark." Allâh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "I have not given you this to wear." And so 'Umar bin Al-Khattâb رضي الله عنه gave it to his pagan brother in Makka to wear. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 11, Vol. 2)
حديث عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النّهْدِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ مَع عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ، بِأَذْرَبِيجَانَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، نَهى عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ إِلَاّ هكَذَا؛ وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ اللَّتَيْنِ تَلِيَانِ الإِبْهَامَ، قَالَ: فِيمَا عَلِمْنَا، أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي الأَعْلَامَ.
While we were with 'Utba bin Farqad at Adharbijân, there came 'Umar's letter indicating that Allâh's Messenger ﷺ had forbidden the use of silk except this much, then he pointed with his index and middle fingers. To our knowledge, by that he meant embroidery. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 718, Vol. 7)
حديث عَلِيٍّ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: أَهْدَى إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ فَلَبِسْتُهَا، فَرَأَيْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي.
The Prophet ﷺ gave me a silken dress as a gift and I wore it. When I saw the signs of anger on his face, I cut it into pieces and distributed it among my wives." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 784, Vol. 3)

The Prophet ﷺ was given a silken Farrûj as a present. He wore it while offering Salât (prayer). When he had finished his Salat, he took it off violently as if with a strong aversion to it and said, "It is not the dress of Al-Mutaqûn : [means pious and righteous persons who fear Allâh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allâh عزوجل much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 372, Vol. 1)
