It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to do seven things and forbade us from seven things. He commanded us to visit the sick, to attend funerals, to respond to one who sneezes, to fulfill the oath of one who swears, to help the oppressed, to greet everyone with salam, and to accept the invitation of one who invites. And he forbade us from (using) gold rings, silver vessels, red silk cushions, Qass (a type of silk cloth from a region), Istabraq (thick silk), fine silk, and pure silk.
