Hadith 402
On the authority of Hudhayfa bin Al-Yaman - may God be pleased with them - in the chain
of transmission: “Do not wear silk or brocade, do not drink from gold and silver utensils, and
do not eat from their plates; It is for them in this world and for you in the hereafter.”

Explanation of Hadith
The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬- forbade men from wearing silk and
brocade; Because their dress for males is fluid and feminine, and imitates soft, luxurious
women. And the man asks him roughness, strength and bully.
He ‫ ﷺ‬also forbade both men and women from eating and drinking from gold
and silver plates and utensils. And the wisdom, as he, the Messenger of Allah ‫ﷺ‬
said: Eating in them in this world is for the infidels who hasten their good deeds in their
worldly lives, and enjoy them, and they are for you - purely Muslims - on the Day of
Resurrection if you avoid them; Fearing Allah‫ ﷻ‬- the Most High - and hoping for what
he has, it was forbidden to imitate them and in compliance with the command of Allah
‫ ﷻ‬- the Most High - was forbidden. Just as he who wears silk among men in this world
has hastened his pleasure; Therefore, he will not wear it in the Hereafter, and whoever
hastens something before its time in a forbidden way will be punished by his deprivation, and
Allah‫ ﷻ‬is severe in punishment.

Benefits of the Hadith

 The prohibition of wearing silk and brocade for males, and a severe warning against
those who wear them.

 It is permissible for women to wear silk, because they need adornment for husbands,
and it is permitted for women, and forbidden for men, according to the consensus of
scholars.

 The prohibition of eating and drinking in gold and silver plates and utensils, for males
and females; Because they are for the infidels in this world, and for the Muslims in
the Hereafter.

Al-Barā’ ibn ‘Āzib ‫ رضي هللا عنه‬reported: I have never seen anyone with shoulder-length
hair and wearing a red garment more beautiful than the Messenger of Allah
‫ﷺ‬. He had shoulder-length hair and broad shoulders and was neither short
nor tall.  

Explanation of Hadith
In this Hadīth, Al-Barā’ ibn ‘Āzib ‫ رضي هللا عنه‬describes the Messenger of Allah ‫ﷺ‬
in a way that indicates his beauty and handsomeness. He says that he never saw anyone
whose hair reaches his earlobes and wearing a red garment more good-looking than the
Messenger of Allah ‫ﷺ‬. Then, he mentions something else from his description:
that he was broad-shouldered and that he was neither too tall nor too short.

Benefits of the Hadith

 It is permissible to wear red, which is the one that has red flags and white flags, and it

is not what is meant by pure red which is forbidden.

 Explanation of the apparent character of the Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬- of

good hair, openness of heart, and good stature.

 It is permissible to lengthen the hair of the head, provided that it is taken care of.

Al-Barā ibn ‘Āzib ‫ رضي هللا عنه‬reported: The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬ordered us

to do seven things and forbade us from doing seven things. He ordered us to visit the

sick, to follow the funeral procession, to invoke Allah's mercy upon someone who

sneezes, to help others fulfill their oaths, to help the oppressed, to accept the invitation

of others, and to spread the greeting of peace. He forbade us to wear gold rings; to

drink in silver utensils; to use Mayāthir (cushions of silk stuffed with cotton and placed
 Umaadatul Ahkaam – Chapter 17

ِ ‫َاب اللِّبَا‬
‫س‬ ُ ‫ ِكت‬Book of Dress

under the rider on the saddle) and the Qasiyy (linen clothes containing silk brought

from an Egyptian town); and to wear silk, brocade and Dībāj (another fine kind of silk).

Explanation of the Hadith

The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬- was sent to perfect good manners, and therefore he

urges every decent character and action, and forbids all evil, and from that what is in this

hadith of the things that he commanded, namely: visiting the sick in which the right of the

Muslim is upheld, and his comfort, And supplication for him, and following the funeral,

because of that of the reward for the follower and supplication for the one who is followed,

and peace be upon the people of the graves, and the sermon and consideration, and the

gloating of the sneezer if he praises Allah‫ﷻ‬, so it is said to him: May Allah‫ ﷻ‬have

mercy on you.

And justifying the oath that is divided if he calls you to something and you do not have to do

any harm, then you must honour his oath, lest you need him to expiate on his oath, and to

answer his call and force his mind, and help the oppressed from his oppressor because of

what it involves in repelling injustice, repelling the aggressor and stopping him from evil,

forbidding evil, and answering those who called you, because in This is almost between

hearts and the purification of souls, and in abstinence there is loneliness and disharmony.

If the invitation is for marriage, then the answer is obligatory, and if it is for someone else, it

is desirable, and the peace is spread, which is to announce it and show it to everyone, and it is
 Umaadatul Ahkaam – Chapter 17

ِ ‫َاب اللِّبَا‬
‫س‬ ُ ‫ ِكت‬Book of Dress

a performance of the Sunnah, and a supplication for Muslims from one another, and a reason

to bring affection.

As for the things that he forbade in this hadith, they are stamping with gold rings for men,

because of what it contains of femininity and fluidity, and the absence of manhood, and from

drinking from silver vessels, because of the extravagance and arrogance that it involves. And

silk, and brocade, and Alastbraq, which are types of silk for men; It calls for softness and

luxury, which are the cause of idleness and meekness, and the man asks him to be active,

firm, and fatwa, so that he is always ready to carry out the duty of defending his religion, his

sanctuary, and his homeland.

Benefits of the Hadith

 It is desirable to visit the patient.

 It is mustahabb to follow funerals to pray over them and bury them if sufficient

people do that, otherwise it is a sufficient obligation.

 You gloat while sneezing if he praises Allah‫ ﷻ‬by saying: (May God have mercy

on you), then the response is obligatory.

 Justifying the divided oath, which is desirable, because of the reparation of the heart

and the response to its request without sin.

 It is necessary to help the oppressed as much as he is able, because it is part of the

prohibition of evil, and in it is a response to evil, aiding the oppressed and stopping

the oppressor.

 Answering the invitation, if it is for a wedding, it must be answered if it is not, then

there is an evil that is not able to be removed, and if it is for other permissible
 Umaadatul Ahkaam – Chapter 17

ِ ‫َاب اللِّبَا‬
‫س‬ ُ ‫ ِكت‬Book of Dress

invitations, it is desirable, and it is confirmed by the consequent removal of grudges

or the repelling of evil.

 Spreading peace among Muslims; Because it is a prayer for safety, and an address on

love and brotherhood.

 It is forbidden to seal men with gold rings, as it is forbidden.

 It is forbidden to drink from vessels of silver, greater than gold, and all other uses are

attached to it, except for what is mentioned as an exception in other texts.

 It is forbidden to wear silk, silk, and alastbraq, and brocade for men.

‫رمى‬ :‫نَبَ َذ‬.
Abdullāh ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had a gold ring made for himself, and whenever he
wore it, he used to keep the stone toward the palm of his hand. Accordingly, the people made
the same thing. Afterward, he sat on the pulpit and took it off, saying: "I used to wear this
ring and keep its stone toward the palm of my hand." He then threw it away and said: "By
Allah! I will never wear it." Thereupon, all the people threw away their rings. In another
narration: "He wore it in his right hand."  

Explanation of the Hadith:

The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬commanded that a gold ring be made for him, and if
he wore it, he would put its lobe on the inside of his right palm, so the Companions followed
him on that and did as he did, then after a while the Prophet, may God bless him and grant
him peace, sat on the pulpit for people to see, then He said: I used to wear this ring, and put
its lobe inside my palm, then he threw it and said: By God, I never wear it, and that was after
it was forbidden, so the Companions threw their rings, following the example of the
Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace -.

Benefits of the Hadith

 It is permissible to seal, following the example of the The Messenger of Allah

‫ﷺ‬
 Umaadatul Ahkaam – Chapter 17

ِ ‫َاب اللِّبَا‬
‫س‬ ُ ‫ ِكت‬Book of Dress

 That sealing with a gold ring was permissible for men first, then it was abrogated.

 The prohibition of sealing with a gold ring for men, and its evidence is that The
Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬- took off the golden ring and threw it and swore
that he would never wear it.
 The superiority of the Companions, and the speed of their emulation of The
Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬- as they took off their rings when he took off his
ring - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.
 The seal should be with the right hand, because the right hand is for every perfume,
and the left hand is intended for dealing with undesirable things.
 The prohibition against wearing gold rings, and an explanation that the act of some

people today by stamping them with gold is contrary to Islamic law.

 The release of the word wear on the seal.

On the authority of Umar ibn Al-Khattāb ‫ي هللا عنه‬QQ‫ رض‬reported: The Messenger of Allah
‫ ﷺ‬ forbade wearing silk except for this much, and he raised his index and middle
fingers to us. A narration by Muslim reads: "The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬forbade
wearing silk except for the width of two, three, or four fingers.”  

Explanation of Hadith
The Messenger of Allah ‫ ﷺ‬- forbade males from wearing silk except for what is
excluded, and the exception in the agreed upon hadith is two fingers, and in the narration of
Muslim, or three or four, so the most is taken; There is nothing wrong with the amount of
four fingers of silk in the dress.

Benefits of the Hadith

 It is taken from the hadith that it is forbidden to wear silk for males from the nation of
Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬- except for what is excluded.

 In it there is an exception, as much as two, three, or four fingers, if it belongs to

something else. As for the singular one, it is not permissible for him, whether a little
or a lot, such as a rosary thread, a watch, or the like.
