Riyad as-Salihin, 239

Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (May Allah bepleased with them) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) commanded us to observe seven things and forbade us seven. He ordered us to visit the sick; to follow funeral processions; to respond to a sneezer with 'Yarhamuk-Allah (May Allah have mercy on you)' when he says 'Al-hamdu lillah (Praise be to Allah),' to help the oppressed and to help others to fulfill their oaths, to accept invitation and to promote greeting. He forbade us to wear gold rings, to drink in silver utensils, to use Mayathir (silk carpets placed on saddles), to wear Al-Qassiy (a kind of silk cloth), and to wear fine silk brocade. <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.

وعن أبي عمارة البراء بن عازب رضي الله عنهما قال‏:‏ أمرنا رسول الله r بسبع، ونهانا عن سبع‏:‏ أمرنا بعيادة المريض، واتباع الجنازة، وتشميت العاطس، وإبرار المقسم، ونصر المظلوم، وإجابة الداعي، وإفشاء السلام‏.‏ ونهانا عن خواتيم أو تختم بالذهب ، وعن شرب بالفضة، وعن المياثر الحمر، وعن القسي، وعن لبس الحرير والإستبرق والديباج‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏
