Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila says: I went with Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) towards a certain land. He asked for water to drink. A farmer brought him water in a silver vessel. Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) struck the vessel at his mouth. We said: Remain silent, remain silent. Now, if we ask him anything about this, he will not tell us anything. We remained silent. After a while, he himself said: Do you know why I threw this vessel at his face? We said: No. He said: I had already forbidden him before that drinking water in a silver vessel is prohibited, and he narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not drink from gold vessels. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do not drink from gold and silver vessels, do not wear silk and brocade; these things are for them in this world and for you in the Hereafter.

Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever drinks from silver vessels, he is gulping down the fire of Hell into his belly.

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the one who drinks from a silver vessel: It is as if he is gulping down the fire of Hell into his belly.
