Riyad as-Salihin, 776
Hudhaifah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited us from wearing brocade or silk and drinking out of gold or silver vessels and said, "These are meant for them (disbelievers) in this world and for you in the Hereafter." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن حذيفة رضى الله عنه قال: إن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نهانا عن الحرير والديباج والشرب في آنية الذهب والفضة، وقال:
هي لهم في الدنيا، وهى لكم في الآخرة
.((متفق عليه))

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is prohibited to drink in a gold or silver vessel; and it is also prohibited to use them for food. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) explained the reason behind the prohibition, saying: “They are for them in the worldly life, and they are for you in the Hereafter.”<br>
2) It is prohibited for men to wear silk or brocade, for this is typical of the disbelievers. That is why the Shariah called for distinction between the clothes of the servants of Allah, the Most Merciful, and those of the servants of Satan.<br>
3) Glad tidings are given to the believers who comply with the commands of Allah Almighty and His Messenger that they shall enter Paradise.
