Authentic 4 scholars’ grades Sunan Ibn Majah 3595

Narrator:Ali

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّعْبَةِ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَفْلَحِ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زُرَيْرٍ الْغَافِقِيِّ، سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، يَقُولُ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَرِيرًا بِشِمَالِهِ وَذَهَبًا بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ بِهِمَا يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏

"‏ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ حَرَامٌ عَلَى ذُكُورِ أُمَّتِي حِلٌّ لإِنَاثِهِمْ ‏"

‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took silk in his right hand and gold in his left hand and then lifted them with his hands and said: "Theseits women."

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 3595), Abu Dawud (No. 4057), An-Nasa’i (No. 5144, 5145, 5146) and Ahmad (No. 891).

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took a silk garment or a piece of it in his left hand and took gold, jewelry or something similar, in his right hand. Then, he said: Silk and gold are forbidden for men to wear. As for women, they are permissible for them.

Lessons

As-Sindi said: 'Forbidden' refers to its use as a garment. Otherwise, it is permissible for everyone to use it in terms of disposal, spending, and selling. Moreover, it is forbidden for everyone to make utensils of gold and use them.
The Islamic Shariah provides broad space for women due to their need for adornment and the like.

Explanation in Arabic

أَخَذَ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثوبًا من حَرِيْر أو قطعةً منه، بيده اليسرى، وأخذ ذهبًا مِن حُلِيٍّ أو ما شابه، بيده اليمنى، ثم قال: إنّ الحرير والذهب، حرامٌ لبسهما على الرجال، أما النساء فهما حلال لهن.

قال السندي:‏ ‏(حرام): المراد استعمالُها لبسًا؛ وإلا فالاستعمال صَرْفًا وإنفاقًا وبيعًا جائزٌ للكُلّ، واستعمال الذهب باتخاذ الأواني منه واستعمالُها حرام للكل.
توسعة الشريعة الإسلامية على النساء للحاجة إلى الزينة ونحوها.
