Hisham bin Abu Ruqayyah says: I heard from Muslamah bin Makhlad while he was delivering a sermon to the people from the pulpit. He said: O people! Do you not have Yemeni sheets and linen clothes? Are they not sufficient instead of silk? There is a man among you who will inform you of the command of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding this matter. O Uqbah! Stand up. Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and said: The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever deliberately attributes a lie to me, let him take his seat in the Hellfire. And I bear witness that I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever wears silk in this world will be deprived of it in the Hereafter.
