Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5313
This report from Umar is brief and measured. It says that he did not allow the wearing of Ad-Dibaj except for a place the width of four fingers. The wording is important because it does not speak about a full garment here. It speaks about a limited amount. For people searching for four fingers silk hadith, Dibaj four fingers, or Umar ruling on silk border, this narration gives a clear phrase to study. It also fits with the nearby narration that mentions a small exception shown with fingers. The teaching should stay close to the text: Umar allowed only a small measured part of Ad-Dibaj, described as the width of four fingers.
What we learn from this hadith
- Umar did not allow Ad-Dibaj generally in this report.
- The exception mentioned is a measured width of four fingers.
- The text points to a small amount rather than a full garment.
- The report teaches care with fine fabric and clothing limits.
