[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the wearing of gold, we asked, "O Messenger of Allah, can we fasten a musk container with something made of gold?" He replied, "Why don't you fasten it with silver and then cover it with saffron, so it would be like gold?"  

أحمد:٢٤٠٤٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ وَمَرْوَانَ بْنِ شُجَاعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي خُصَيْفٌ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ قَالَتْ

لَمَّا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لُبْسِ الذَّهَبِ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا نَرْبِطُ الْمَسَكَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ؟ قَالَ أَفَلَا تَرْبِطُونَهُ بِالْفِضَّةِ ثُمَّ تَلْطَخُونَهُ بِزَعْفَرَانَ فَيَكُونَ مِثْلَالذَّهَبِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ only prohibited gold. We asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about musk that is mixed with gold?" He said, "No, unless it is mixed with silver and then tinted with saffron."  

الطبراني:٢٠٠١١حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو غَسَّانَ ثنا قَيْسٌ عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الذَّهَبِ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْمِسْكُ يُصِيبُ بِالذَّهَبِ؟ قَالَ «لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ بِفِضَّةٍ ثُمَّ الْطِخِيهِ بِزَعْفَرَانٍ»
