Authentic hadith of Sahih Muslim Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih Muslim 2067g

Narrator:Hudhayfah

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ اسْتَسْقَى حُذَيْفَةُ فَسَقَاهُ مَجُوسِيٌّ فِي إِنَاءٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏

لاَ تَلْبَسُوا الْحَرِيرَ وَلاَ الدِّيبَاجَ وَلاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا فِي صِحَافِهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا‏"‏ ‏.‏

‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Abi Layla reported that they were in the company of Hudhayfah, who asked for water, and a Magian brought him water. On placing the cup in his hand, he threw it at him and said, Had I not forbidden him more than once or twice—as if he were saying, I would not have done this—however, I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say:

"Do not wear silk or brocade, and do not drink from gold or silver vessels, and do not eat in platters made therefrom, for they are for them in this world and for us in the Hereafter."

Reported by Muslim (No. 2067g, 2067a), Al-Bukhari (No. 5426, 5632, 5633, 5831), Abu Dawud (No. 3723), At-Tirmidhi (No. 1878), An-Nasa’i (No. 5301), Ibn Majah (No. 3414), Ahmad (No. 22225, 22268, 22275, 22285, 22340) and Ad-Darimi (No. 2037).

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade men from wearing all kinds of silk. He forbade men and women from eating or drinking in vessels and containers made of gold and silver. He stated that they would be exclusive for the believers on the Day of Judgment because they avoided using them in this world out of obedience to Allah. As for the disbelievers, they will not enjoy it in the Hereafter because they hastened to enjoy their share of pleasures in this world and disobeyed Allah's command.

Lessons

Prohibition of wearing silk and brocade for males and a strict warning for whoever wears them.
Women are permitted to wear silk and brocade.
Both males and females are forbidden from eating and drinking in vessels and platters made of gold and silver.
Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) was strict in his rebuke, justifying this by the fact that he had forbidden him more than once from using gold and silver vessels; however, he did not stop using them.

Explanation in Arabic

نَهَى النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الرجالَ عن لُبس الحرير بأنواعه.

ونهى الرجالَ والنساءَ عن الأكل والشرب في آنية وأوعية الذهب والفضة.

وأخبر بأنها خالصة للمؤمنين يوم القيامة؛ لأنهم اجتنبوها في الدنيا طاعة لله،

وأما الكفار فليست لهم في الآخرة؛ لأنهم تعجَّلوا طيباتِهم في حياتهم الدنيا باتخاذهم لها، ومعصيتهم أمر الله.

تحريم لبس الحرير والديباج على الذكور، والوعيد الشديد على مَن لَبِسه.
يباح للنساء لبسُ الحرير والديباج.
تحريم الأكل والشرب في صحاف الذهب والفضة وآنيتهما على الذكور والإناث.
تغليظ حذيفة رضي الله عنه في الإنكار، وعلل ذلك بأنَّه نهاه أكثَرَ مِن مَرَّةٍ عن استعمالِ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ والفِضَّةِ، لكنَّه لَمَّا لم يَنْتَهِ.
