أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَقُولُ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخَذَ حَرِيرًا فَجَعَلَهُ فِي يَمِينِهِ وَأَخَذَ ذَهَبًا فَجَعَلَهُ فِي شِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ حَرَامٌ عَلَى ذُكُورِ أُمَّتِي

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَلَى أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بُرْدًا سِيَرَاءَ قَالَ وَالسِّيَرَاءُ الْمُضَلَّعُ بِالْقَزِّ
