Hadith #154
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَخَّصَ فِي الْحَرِيرِ فِي إِصْبَعَيْنِ
English Translation
It was narrated that Abu `Uthman said: We were with `Utbah bin Farqad and `Umar رضي الله عنه wrote to him about things he narrated from the Prophet ﷺ. Among the things he wrote was that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: `No one wears silk in this world except one who will not wear it in the Hereafter, except this much,` and he gestured with his two fingers, the forefinger and the middle finger. Abu `Uthman said: I thought this referred to the edging of the tayalisah (a shawl-like garment) when we first saw the tayalisah.
