Hisham bin Abi Ruqayyah, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once Hazrat Muslamah bin Makhlad, may Allah be pleased with him, was sitting on the pulpit delivering a sermon and I was also listening. He said: O people! Is silk, 'asab, and linen not sufficient for you? There is a companion, may Allah be pleased with him, present among you who will narrate to you the hadith of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Uqbah! Stand up. So Hazrat Uqbah, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and I heard him say: I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever attributes a false statement to me, let him prepare his abode in Hell. And I bear witness that I also heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever wears silk in this world will be deprived of wearing it in the Hereafter.
