Abdullah bin Akeem narrates: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked a farmer in Mada’in for water, so he brought water to him in a vessel made of silver. He threw it away. Due to awe, we did not say anything to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) about this. When his anger cooled down, he said: I present my excuse before you. I had already instructed him not to give me water to drink in such a vessel. Then he informed us that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood among us to deliver a sermon and said: Do not drink from vessels made of silver and gold, and do not wear silk and brocade, for these are for them (the disbelievers) in this world and for you in the Hereafter.

The narrator named Sufyan says: This narration was related to us by Ibn Abu Najeeh from Mujahid, from Ibn Abu Layla, from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him). Then I heard him narrate it from Yazid bin Abu Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Layla, from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him). Then I heard Abu Farwah say: I heard Abdullah bin Akeem narrate this. Sufyan says: I think Ibn Abu Layla must have also heard this narration from Abdullah bin Akeem because he lived during the time of ignorance.

Muawiyah bin Suwaid bin Muqrin reports: I was present in the company of Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), and I heard him narrate: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from seven things: gold rings, Mayathir, Qassi (a specific type of silk cloth to sit on), Dibaj, Harir, and Istabraq (specific types of silk garments), and from drinking from silver vessels.
