Musnad Ahmad 337

While we were with `Utba bin Farqad at Adharbijan, there came `Umar's letter indicating that Allah's Apostle 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.

‘Ali said God’s messenger forbade him to wear a gold ring, or a Qassi garment, or to use saddle-cloths. Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah transmitted it. In a version by Abu Dawud he said he forbade purple saddle-cloths.

"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."

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