The Book of Adornment

Yahya - bin Ishaq - said:

"Salim said: 'What is Al-Istabraq?' I said: 'A thick type of Ad-Dibaj, and a coarse type of it.' He said: 'I heard 'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) say: "Umar saw a Hullah of Sundus with a man, and he brought it to the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] and said: 'Buy this'" and he quoted the Hadith.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Ukaim said:

"Hudhaifah asked for some water and the chief brought water in a silver vessel. He threw it aside, then he apologized to them for what he had done, and said: 'I told him before not to do that. I heard the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] say: Do not drink from vessels of gold and silver, and do not wear Ad-Dibaj or silk. They are for them in this world, and for you in the Hereafter."

It was narrated that Wafid bin 'Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh said:

"I entered upon Anas bin Malik when he came to Al-Madinah and greeted him with Salam. He said: 'Where are you from?' I said: 'I am Wafid bin 'Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh.' He said: 'Sa'd was the greatest and most virtuous of people.' Then he wept a great deal, then he said: 'The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] sent a delegation to Ukaidir the ruler of Dumah, who sent him a Jubbah made of Ad-Dibaj interwoven with gold. The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] put it on, then he stood on the Minbar and sat, without speaking, then he came down and the people started touching it with their hands. He said: 'Are you admiring this? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd in Paradise are more beautiful than what you see.'"

Jabir said:

"The Prophet (ﷺ) [ﷺ] put on a Qaba' of Ad-Dibaj that had been given to him, but he soon took it off and sent it to 'Umar. It was said to him: 'How soon you took it off, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Jibril, peace be upon him, prohibited me from wearing it.' Then 'Umar came weeping and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you disliked something but you gave it to me.' He said: 'I did not give it to you to wear it, rather I gave it to you to sell it.' So 'Umar sold it for two thousand Dirhams."

'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair said, while he was on the Minbar delivering a Khutbah:

"Muhammad [ﷺ] said: 'Whoever wears silk in this world, will not wear it in the Hereafter.'"

Khalifah said:

"I heard 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair say: 'Do not let your womenfolk wear silk, for I heard 'Umar bin Al-Khattab say: The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said: Whoever wears it in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter.'"

'Imran bin Hittan narrated that :

He asked 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas about wearing silk. He said: "Ask 'Aishah." "So I asked 'Aishah and she said: 'Ask 'Abdullah bin 'Umar.' So I asked Ibn 'Umar and he said: 'Abu Hafs told me, that the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said: "Whoever wears silk in this world will have no share in the Hereafter."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar, :

That the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said: "Silk is only worn by one who has no share."

It was narrated that 'Ali Al-Bariqi said:

"A woman came to me to ask a question, and I said to her: 'There is Ibn 'Umar.' So she went after him to ask him, and I went after her to hear what he would say. She said: 'Tell me about silk.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] forbade it.'"

It was narrated that Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said:

"The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] enjoined seven things upon us, and forbade seven things for us. He forbade to us gold rings, silver vessels, Al-Mayathir, Al-Qassiyah, Al-Istabraq, Ad-Dibaj, and silk."

"We were with 'Utbah bin Farqad when the letter of 'Umar came, saying that the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said: 'No one wears silk except one who has no share of it in the Hereafter, except this much.'" And Abu 'Uthman gestured with the two fingers that are next to the thumb. And I saw the two of them pointing to the borders of the Tayalisah, so that I could see the Tayalisah.

It was narrated from 'Umar that:

He did not allow the wearing of silk except (something) the width of four fingers.
