Abu Uthman Hindi says: A letter came to us from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him); we were with Sayyiduna Utbah bin Farqad (may Allah be pleased with him) in Azerbaijan or Syria.

Abu Uthman says: We understood that (by two fingers it means) that stripes or marks of silk of that width are permissible.

In it, it was also written that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Only that person wears silk in this world who has no share in the Hereafter, except equal to two fingers.
