Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1341
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.
Abu `Uthman An-Nahdi Narrated from:
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)
