Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that garment which is made entirely of silk. If the warp of the cloth is of silk or the embroidery is of silk, then we do not consider there to be any harm in it.

It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) by her freed slave Abdullah, who says: Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) sent me to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask him about this matter: Has it reached you from Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that you declare three things forbidden: putting marks and designs on clothes, red silk cushions, and fasting all the days of Rajab? He replied: As for what you said that I do not fast all the days of the month of Rajab, then how would it be for the one who always fasts? As for what you mentioned about marks on clothes, that I prohibit it, I heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever wears silk in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter.

Abdullah narrates that I went to Lady Asma (may Allah be pleased with her), and she brought out a Tayalisi cloak, which had a piece of Persian silk attached to its hem, and its slits were also of silk. She said, "This was the cloak of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which he used to wear. It was with Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and when she passed away, I took it. We soak it in water for a sick person and seek healing through its blessing."

Abdullah narrates that Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) placed a cloak before us, which had silk buttons. She said: This is the cloak in which the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to meet the enemy, (that is, he wore it in both times of peace and war).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever makes a picture will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and this will continue until he breathes life into it, while he will never be able to breathe life into it. Whoever pretends in a dream will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and this punishment will continue until he ties a knot between two grains of barley. And whoever listens to the conversation of people who move away from him (i.e., do not want him to listen), then on the Day of Resurrection, molten lead will be poured into his ears as punishment.

A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, except that in it, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever listens to the conversation of people who do not like him to listen, then molten lead will be poured into his ears.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Nadr bin Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) while he was giving fatwas to the people and in his fatwas he did not attribute anything to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). A man from Iraq came to him and said: I am a man from Iraq, I make these images. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to him two or three times: Come closer. Then he said: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever makes an image in this world, he will be punished on the Day of Resurrection by being commanded to breathe life into that image, but he will not be able to breathe life into it.

Saeed bin Abu Hasan says: A man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and said: O Ibn Abbas! I make pictures, give me a verdict about them. He said: Come near me. So he came near, and he placed his hand on his head and said: I inform you of what I heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Every image-maker will go to Hell. For every picture he made, a soul will be created for it, and it will punish him in Hell. If you must make pictures, then make pictures of trees and things that do not have souls.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among the people of Hell, those who will have the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be the image-makers.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The image-makers will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, "Bring to life what you have created."
