The Book of Prayer

Narrated Hudhaifah (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade us from eating and drinking from gold and silver vessels, and from wearing or siting upon silk or brocade. [Reported by al-Bukhari].

وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { نَهَى اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَنْ نَشْرَبَ فِي آنِيَةِ اَلذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ, وَأَنْ نَأْكُلَ فِيهَا, وَعَنْ لُبْسِ اَلْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ, وَأَنْ نَجْلِسَ عَلَيْهِ } رَوَاهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Umar (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the wearing of silk except the space of two or three or four fingers. [Agreed upon, and the wording is from Muslim].

وَعَنْ عُمَرَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { نَهَى اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-عَنْ لُبْسِ اَلْحَرِيرِ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ إِصْبَعَيْنِ, أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ, أَوْ أَرْبَعٍ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ, وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُسْلِمٍ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Anas (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) gave permission to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and az-Zubair to wear silk during the journey because of an itching which they suffered from. [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-رَخَّصَ لِعَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ, وَالزُّبَيْرِ فِي قَمِيصِ اَلْحَرِيرِ, فِي سَفَرٍ, مِنْ حَكَّةٍ كَانَتْ بِهِمَا } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) presented me a silk suit of clothing. I went out wearing it, but on noticing anger on his face, I cut it up (and divided it) among the women of my household. [Agreed upon, and this is the wording of Muslim].

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { كَسَانِي اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ, فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا, فَرَأَيْتُ اَلْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ, فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ, وَهَذَا لَفْظُ مُسْلِمٍ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Abu Musa (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Gold and silk are lawful for the females among my followers, but prohibited to the males". [Reported by Ahmad, an-Nasa'i and at-Tirmidhi, who graded it Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: { أُحِلَّ اَلذَّهَبُ وَالْحَرِيرُ لِإِنَاثِ أُمَّتِي, وَحُرِّمَ عَلَى ذُكُورِهِمْ.‏ } [1]‏ .‏ رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَالنَّسَائِيُّ, وَاَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَصَحَّحَهُ [2]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Imran bin Husain (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When Allah grants His blessings to His servant, He loves to see the traces of His favour upon him." [Reported by al-Baihaqi].

وَعَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا; أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: { إِنَّ اَللَّهَ يُحِبُّ إِذَا أَنْعَمَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ أَنْ يَرَى [1]‏ أَثَرَ نِعْمَتِهِ عَلَيْهِ } رَوَاهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيُّ [2]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Ali (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade wearing of silk and clothes dyed with safflower (a red dye). [Reported by Muslim].

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-نَهَى عَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) saw me in two clothes dyed in safflower (a red dye), whereupon he said: "Did your mother order you to do this?" [Reported by Muslim].

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِوٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا, قَالَ: { رَأَى عَلَيَّ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-ثَوْبَيْنِ مُعَصْفَرَيْنِ, فَقَالَ:

أُمُّكَ أَمَرَتْكَ بِهَذَا?

} رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr (RA):

She brought out the mantle (over-garment) of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) with it's collar, sleeves, front and back hemmed with brocade (silk). [Abu Dawud reported it].

وَعَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا { أَنَّهَا أَخْرَجَتْ جُبَّةَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-مَكْفُوفَةَ اَلْجَيْبِ وَالْكُمَّيْنِ وَالْفَرْجَيْنِ, بِالدِّيبَاجِ } رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ [1]‏ .‏

Its basic meaning is in Muslim's Sahih with the addition:

"It was with 'Aishah (RA) till she died, then I took possession of it. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to wear it, and we wash it for the sick, seeking cure by means of it."

وَأَصْلُهُ فِي

مُسْلِمٍ

, وَزَادَ: { كَانَتْ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ حَتَّى قُبِضَتْ, فَقَبَضْتُهَا, وَكَانَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-يَلْبَسُهَا, فَنَحْنُ نَغْسِلُهَا لِلْمَرْضَى نَسْتَشْفِي بِهَا } [1]‏ .‏

al-Bukhari added in Adab al-Mufrad:

"He [the Prophet (ﷺ)] used to wear it on the visit of a delegation and on Fridays."

وَزَادَ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ فِي

اَلْأَدَبِ اَلْمُفْرَدِ

.‏ { وَكَانَ يَلْبَسُهَا لِلْوَفْدِ وَالْجُمُعَةِ } [1]‏ .‏
