Sayyiduna Zumrah bin Tha'labah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wearing two Yemeni garments. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Zumrah! Do you think these two garments will admit you into Paradise? I said: O Messenger of Allah! If you seek forgiveness for me, I will take them off before sitting down. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Forgive Zumrah bin Tha'labah. So he hurriedly went and took both of them off.

Sulaiman Taimi says: Hasan Basri narrated to me the hadith of Abu Uthman Nahdi, who narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding silk. Hasan says: A man from the tribe informed me that he entered upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while he was wearing a cloak whose collar was made of silk. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This collar is of fire.

Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that ‘Atard bin Hajib came and he had a silk cloak with him, which the ruler of Persia had given him. Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I wish that you would buy it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: This is a garment worn by the one who has no share in the Hereafter.

Habib bin Ubaid al-Habi says: Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Khalid bin Yazid. He placed a cushion for him. Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that it was made of silk, so he withdrew his feet and separated himself from it, until he reached the end of the gathering, while Khalid was talking to another man. Then, when Khalid turned towards Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said to him: O my brother! What did you think? Do you think this is made of silk? So Khalid removed the doubt. Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever hopes for the blessings of Allah, let him not benefit from silk. Khalid said to Abu Umamah: Did you hear this hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: O Allah! Forgive me, Khalid is asking me whether I heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah. We were among such people that whatever they narrated to us, they did not lie in it, nor were we ever denied.
