Abu’l-Husayn Haytham says that once I and a friend of mine whose name was Abu ‘Amir and who belonged to the tribe of Ma‘afir, set out to pray in Bayt al-Maqdis. There, a man from the tribe of Azd whose name was Abu Rayhanah and who was among the Companions, used to deliver sermons. My companion reached the mosque before me; after a little while, I also arrived and sat beside him. He asked me,“Have you ever sat in Abu Rayhanah’s sermon gathering?”I said,“No.”He told me,“I heard him say that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade ten things: filing the teeth, tattooing the body, plucking hair, two men drinking from the same vessel with their mouths without a barrier, two women drinking from the same vessel with their mouths, attaching silk as embroidery to the lower part of garments, draping silk garments over the shoulders like non-Arabs, looting, riding on saddles made from leopard skins, and wearing a ring for anyone other than a ruler.”
