It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he went to Khalid bin Yazid. Khalid presented a cushion for him. Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that it was a silk cushion, so he turned back and walked to the end of the row. Khalid was engaged in conversation with another man. After a while, he saw Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Brother! What did you think? Do you think this is a silk cushion?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The person who hopes to meet Allah cannot benefit from silk.'" Khalid asked, "O Abu Umamah! Did you really hear the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say this?" He replied, "May Allah forgive! This question, 'Did you hear this hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?'—we lived among a people who neither lied to us nor did we lie to them."
