I heard ʿUmar saying, "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever wears silk in this world, shall not wear it in the Hereafter." This hadith is also narrated through 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ لَبِسَ الْحَرِيرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَلْبَسْهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَقَالَ لَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ قَالَتْ مُعَاذَةُ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ عَمْرٍو بِنْتُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None wears silk in this world, but he who will have no share in the Hereafter."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ فَقُلْتُ صَدَقَ وَمَا كَذَبَ أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنِي عِمْرَانُ وَقَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ  

The Prophet ﷺ was given a silk garment as a gift and we started touching it with our hands and admiring it. On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you wonder at this?" We said, "Yes." He said, "The handkerchiefs of Saʿd bin Muʿadh in Paradise are better than this."  

أُهْدِيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثَوْبُ حَرِيرٍ فَجَعَلْنَا نَلْمُسُهُ وَنَتَعَجَّبُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ هَذَا قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ مَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذَا  

The Prophet ﷺ forbade us to drink out of gold and silver vessels, or eat in it, Ann also forbade the wearing of silk and Dibaj or sitting on it.  

نَهَانَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ نَشْرَبَ فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَأَنْ نَأْكُلَ فِيهَا وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَأَنْ نَجْلِسَ عَلَيْهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ forbade us to use the red Mayathir and to use Al-Qassiy.  

نَهَانَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْمَيَاثِرِ الْحُمْرِ وَالْقَسِّيِّ  

The Prophet ﷺ allowed Az-Zubair and ʿAbdur-Rahman to wear silk because they were suffering from an itch.  

رَخَّصَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلزُّبَيْرِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ لِحِكَّةٍ بِهِمَا  

The Prophet ﷺ gave me a silk suit. I went out wearing it, but seeing the signs of anger on his face, I tore it and distributed it among my wives.  

كَسَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا فَرَأَيْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَشَقَّقْتُهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِي  

ʿUmar saw a silk suit being sold, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Why don't you buy it so that you may wear it when delegates come to you, and also on Fridays?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is worn only by him who has no share in the Hereafter." Afterwards the Prophet ﷺ sent to ʿUmar a silk suit suitable for wearing. ʿUmar said to the Prophet, "You have given it to me to wear, yet I have heard you saying about it what you said?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I sent it to you so that you might either sell it or give it to somebody else to wear."  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ رَأَى حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ ابْتَعْتَهَا تَلْبَسُهَا لِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا أَتَوْكَ وَالْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عُمَرَ حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ حَرِيرٍ كَسَاهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ لِتَبِيعَهَا أَوْ تَكْسُوَهَا  

that he had seen Um Kulthum, the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ , wearing a red silk garment.  

أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَلَى أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بُرْدَ حَرِيرٍ سِيَرَاءَ  

For one year I wanted to ask ʿUmar about the two women who helped each other against the Prophet ﷺ but I was afraid of him. One day he dismounted his riding animal and went among the trees of Arak to answer the call of nature, and when he returned, I asked him and he said, "(They were) ʿAisha and Hafsa." Then he added, "We never used to give significance to ladies in the days of the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance, but when Islam came and Allah mentioned their rights, we used to give them their rights but did not allow them to interfere in our affairs. Once there was some dispute between me and my wife and she answered me back in a loud voice. I said to her, 'Strange! You can retort in this way?' She said, 'Yes. Do you say this to me while your daughter troubles Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' So I went to Hafsa and said to her, 'I warn you not to disobey Allah and His Apostle.' I first went to Hafsa and then to Um Salama and told her the same. She said to me, 'O ʿUmar! It surprises me that you interfere in our affairs so much that you would poke your nose even into the affairs of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his wives.' So she rejected my advice. There was an Ansari man; whenever he was absent from Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I was present there, I used to convey to him what had happened (on that day), and when I was absent and he was present there, he used to convey to me what had happened as regards news from Messenger of Allah ﷺ . During that time all the rulers of the nearby lands had surrendered to Messenger of Allah ﷺ except the king of Ghassan in Sham, and we were afraid that he might attack us. All of a sudden the Ansari came and said, 'A great event has happened!' I asked him, 'What is it? Has the Ghassani (king) come?' He said, 'Greater than that! Messenger of Allah ﷺ has divorced his wives! I went to them and found all of them weeping in their dwellings, and the Prophet ﷺ had ascended to an upper room of his. At the door of the room there was a slave to whom I went and said, "Ask the permission for me to enter." He admitted me and I entered to see the Prophet ﷺ lying on a mat that had left its imprint on his side. Under his head there was a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. Behold! There were some hides hanging there and some grass for tanning. Then I mentioned what I had said to Hafsa and Um Salama and what reply Um Salama had given me. Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and stayed there for twenty nine days and then came down." (See Hadith No. 648, Vol. 3 for details)  

عَنِ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ تَظَاهَرَتَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَعَلْتُ أَهَابُهُ فَنَزَلَ يَوْمًا مَنْزِلاً فَدَخَلَ الأَرَاكَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ كُنَّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لاَ نَعُدُّ النِّسَاءَ شَيْئًا فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الإِسْلاَمُ وَذَكَرَهُنَّ اللَّهُ رَأَيْنَا لَهُنَّ بِذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا حَقًّا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ نُدْخِلَهُنَّ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ أُمُورِنَا وَكَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتِي كَلاَمٌ فَأَغْلَظَتْ لِي فَقُلْتُ لَهَا وَإِنَّكِ لَهُنَاكِ قَالَتْ تَقُولُ هَذَا لِي وَابْنَتُكَ تُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُ حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا إِنِّي أُحَذِّرُكِ أَنْ تَعْصِي اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَتَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْهَا فِي أَذَاهُ فَأَتَيْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ أَعْجَبُ مِنْكَ يَا عُمَرُ قَدْ دَخَلْتَ فِي أُمُورِنَا فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ فَرَدَّدَتْ وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَشَهِدْتُهُ أَتَيْتُهُ بِمَا يَكُونُ وَإِذَا غِبْتُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَشَهِدَ أَتَانِي بِمَا يَكُونُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ مَنْ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدِ اسْتَقَامَ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلاَّ مَلِكُ غَسَّانَ بِالشَّأْمِ كُنَّا نَخَافُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنَا فَمَا شَعَرْتُ إِلاَّ بِالأَنْصَارِيِّ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَمَا هُوَ أَجَاءَ الْغَسَّانِيُّ قَالَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَاكَ طَلَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ فَجِئْتُ فَإِذَا الْبُكَاءُ مِنْ حُجَرِهَا كُلِّهَا وَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ صَعِدَ فِي مَشْرُبَةٍ لَهُ وَعَلَى باب الْمَشْرُبَةِ وَصِيفٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ اسْتَأْذِنْ لِي فَدَخَلْتُ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى حَصِيرٍ قَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَنْبِهِ وَتَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ مِرْفَقَةٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ وَإِذَا أُهُبٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ وَقَرَظٌ فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَالَّذِي رَدَّتْ عَلَىَّ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَبِثَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ نَزَلَ  

One night the Prophet ﷺ woke up, saying, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! How many afflictions have been sent down tonight, and how many treasures have been sent down (disclosed)! Who will go and wake up (for prayers) the lady dwellers of these rooms? Many well dressed soul (people) in this world, will be naked on the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَتِ اسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ مَاذَا أُنْزِلَ اللَّيْلَةَ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ مَاذَا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ الْخَزَائِنِ مَنْ يُوقِظُ صَوَاحِبَ الْحُجُرَاتِ كَمْ مِنْ كَاسِيَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَارِيَةٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَكَانَتْ هِنْدٌ لَهَا أَزْرَارٌ فِي كُمَّيْهَا بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهَا  

Some clothes were presented to Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a gift and there was a black Khamisa with it. The Prophet asked (his companions), "To whom do you suggest we give this Khamisa?" The people kept quiet. Then he said, "Bring me Um Khalid," So I was brought to him and he dressed me with it with his own hands and said twice, "May you live so long that you will wear out many garments." He then started looking at the embroidery of that Khamisa and said, "O Um Khalid! This is Sana!" (Sana in Ethiopian language means beautiful.) 'Is-haq, a sub-narrator, said: A woman of my family had told me that she had seen the Khamisa worn by Um Khalid.  

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِثِيَابٍ فِيهَا خَمِيصَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ قَالَ مَنْ تَرَوْنَ نَكْسُوهَا هَذِهِ الْخَمِيصَةَ فَأُسْكِتَ الْقَوْمُ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِأُمِّ خَالِدٍ فَأُتِيَ بِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَلْبَسَهَا بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ أَبْلِي وَأَخْلِقِي مَرَّتَيْنِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَلَمِ الْخَمِيصَةِ وَيُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ إِلَىَّ وَيَقُولُ يَا أُمَّ خَالِدٍ هَذَا سَنَا وَالسَّنَا بِلِسَانِ الْحَبَشِيَّةِ الْحَسَنُ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ حَدَّثَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِي أَنَّهَا رَأَتْهُ عَلَى أُمِّ خَالِدٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ forbade men to use saffron.  

نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَتَزَعْفَرَ الرَّجُلُ  

The Prophet ﷺ forbade Muhrims to wear clothes dyed with Wars or saffron.  

نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ الْمُحْرِمُ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا بِوَرْسٍ أَوْ بِزَعْفَرَانٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ was of a modest height. I saw him wearing a red suit, and I did not see anything better than him.  

سَمِعَ الْبَرَاءَ ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَرْبُوعًا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ ordered us to observe seven things: To visit the sick; follow funeral processions; say 'May Allah bestow His Mercy on you', to the sneezer if he says, 'Praise be to Allah!; He forbade us to wear silk, Dibaj, Qassiy and Istibarq (various kinds of silken clothes); or to use red Mayathir (silkcushions). (See Hadith No. 253 A, Vol. 8).  

أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِسَبْعٍ عِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ وَاتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ وَتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَالْقَسِّيِّ وَالإِسْتَبْرَقِ وَمَيَاثِرِ الْحُمْرِ  

I asked Anas (bin Malik), "Did the Prophet ﷺ use to offer the prayers with his shoes on?" He said, "Yes."  

سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فِي نَعْلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

'Ubai bin Juraij said to ʿAbdullah Ben ʿUmar, "I see you doing four things which are not done by your friends." Ibn ʿUmar said, "What are they, O Ibn Juraij?" He said, "I see that you do not touch except the two Yemenite corners of the Kaʿba (while performing the Tawaf): and I see you wearing the Sabtiyya shoes; and I see you dyeing (your hair) with Sufra; and I see that when you are in Mecca, the people assume the state of Ihram on seeing the crescent (on the first day of Dhul-Hijja) while you do not assume the state of Ihram till the Day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul Hijja)." ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said to him, "As for the corners of the Kaʿba, I have not seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ touching except the two Yemenite corners, As for the Sabtiyya shoes, I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ wearing leather shoes that had no hair, and he used to perform the ablution while wearing them. Therefore, I like to wear such shoes. As regards dyeing with Sufra, I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ dyeing his hair with it, so I like to dye (my hair) with it. As regards the crescent (of Dhul-Hijja), I have not seen Messenger of Allah ﷺ assuming the state of Ihram till his she-camel set out (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijja).  

رَأَيْتُكَ لاَ تَمَسُّ مِنَ الأَرْكَانِ إِلاَّ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ وَرَأَيْتُكَ تَلْبَسُ النِّعَالَ السِّبْتِيَّةَ وَرَأَيْتُكَ تَصْبُغُ بِالصُّفْرَةِ وَرَأَيْتُكَ إِذَا كُنْتَ بِمَكَّةَ أَهَلَّ النَّاسُ إِذَا رَأَوُا الْهِلاَلَ وَلَمْ تُهِلَّ أَنْتَ حَتَّى كَانَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَمَّا الأَرْكَانُ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَمَسُّ إِلاَّ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ وَأَمَّا النِّعَالُ السِّبْتِيَّةُ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَلْبَسُ النِّعَالَ الَّتِي لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَعَرٌ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ فِيهَا فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَلْبَسَهَا وَأَمَّا الصُّفْرَةُ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْبُغُ بِهَا فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَصْبُغَ بِهَا وَأَمَّا الإِهْلاَلُ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُهِلُّ حَتَّى تَنْبَعِثَ بِهِ رَاحِلَتُهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade that a Muhrim should wear clothes dyed with Saffron or Wars, and said, "Whoever has no shoes can put on Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather) after cutting it below the ankles."  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ الْمُحْرِمُ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا بِزَعْفَرَانٍ أَوْ وَرْسٍ وَقَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ نَعْلَيْنِ فَلْيَلْبَسْ خُفَّيْنِ وَلْيَقْطَعْهُمَا أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever has no Izar (waist sheet), can wear trousers; and whoever has no sandals, can wear Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather, but cut them short below the ankles)."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِزَارٌ فَلْيَلْبَسِ السَّرَاوِيلَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ نَعْلاَنِ فَلْيَلْبَسْ خُفَّيْنِ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to like starting from the right in performing ablution, combing his hair and putting on his shoes.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحِبُّ التَّيَمُّنَ فِي طُهُورِهِ وَتَرَجُّلِهِ وَتَنَعُّلِهِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you want to put on your shoes, put on the right shoe first; and if you want to take them off, take the left one first. Let the right shoe be the first to be put on and the last to be taken off."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا انْتَعَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا نَزَعَ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالشِّمَالِ لِتَكُنِ الْيُمْنَى أَوَّلَهُمَا تُنْعَلُ وَآخِرَهُمَا تُنْزَعُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None of you should walk, wearing one shoe only; he should either put on both shoes or put on no shoes whatsoever."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَمْشِي أَحَدُكُمْ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِيُحْفِهِمَا جَمِيعًا أَوْ لِيَنْعَلْهُمَا جَمِيعًا  

The sandal of the Prophet ﷺ had two straps.  

أَنَّ نَعْلَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَ لَهَا قِبَالاَنِ  

Anas bin Malik brought out for us, two sandals having two straps. Thabit Al-Banani said, "These were the sandals of the Prophet ﷺ ."  

ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ هَذِهِ نَعْلُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was inside a red leather tent, and I saw Bilal taking the remaining water of the ablution of the Prophet, and the people were taking of that water and rubbing it on their faces; and whoever could not get anything of it, would share the moisture of the hand of his companion (and then rub it on his face).  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مِنْ أَدَمٍ وَرَأَيْتُ بِلاَلاً أَخَذَ وَضُوءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالنَّاسُ يَبْتَدِرُونَ الْوَضُوءَ فَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا تَمَسَّحَ بِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصِبْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا أَخَذَ مِنْ بَلَلِ يَدِ صَاحِبِهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ called for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent.  

أَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ وَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to construct a loom with a Hasir at night m order to pray therein, and during the day he used to spread it out and sit on it. The people started coming to the Prophet ﷺ at night to offer the prayer behind him When their number increased, the Prophet ﷺ faced them and said. O people! Do only those good deeds which you can do, for Allah does not get tired (of giving reward) till you get tired, and the best deeds to Allah are the incessant ones though they were few.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَحْتَجِرُ حَصِيرًا بِاللَّيْلِ فَيُصَلِّي وَيَبْسُطُهُ بِالنَّهَارِ فَيَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَثُوبُونَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَيُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَتِهِ حَتَّى كَثُرُوا فَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ خُذُوا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَا دَامَ وَإِنْ قَلَّ  

My father, Makhrama said to me, "I have come to know that some cloaks have come to the Prophet ﷺ and he is distributing them. So O my son! take me to him." We went to the Prophet ﷺ and found him in the house. My father said to me, "O my son! Call the Prophet ﷺ for me." I found it hard to do so, so I said surprisingly, "Shall I call Messenger of Allah ﷺ for you ?" My father said, "O mu son! He is not a tyrant." So I called him and he came out wearing a Dibaj cloak having gold buttons, and said: "O Makhrama, I kept this for you." The Prophet ﷺ then gave it to him.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدِمَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَقْبِيَةٌ فَهْوَ يَقْسِمُهَا فَاذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَيْهِ فَذَهَبْنَا فَوَجَدْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا بُنَىَّ ادْعُ لِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَعْظَمْتُ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ أَدْعُو لَكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَىَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِجَبَّارٍ فَدَعَوْتُهُ فَخَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ قَبَاءٌ مِنْ دِيبَاجٍ مُزَرَّرٌ بِالذَّهَبِ فَقَالَ يَا مَخْرَمَةُ هَذَا خَبَأْنَاهُ لَكَ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ forbade us to use seven things: He forbade using gold rings, silk, Istabraq, Dibaj, red Mayathir, Al-Qassiy, and silver utensils. He ordered us to do seven other things. To pay a visit to the sick; to follow funeral processions; to say, "May Allah be merciful to you" to a sneezer if he says "Praise be to Allah"; to return greetings, to accept invitations; to help others to fulfil their oaths and to help the oppressed ones.  

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ؓ يَقُولُ نَهَانَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ سَبْعٍ نَهَى عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ أَوْ قَالَ حَلْقَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالإِسْتَبْرَقِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ وَالْقَسِّيِّ وَآنِيَةِ الْفِضَّةِ وَأَمَرَنَا بِسَبْعٍ بِعِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ وَاتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ وَتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ وَرَدِّ السَّلاَمِ وَإِجَابَةِ الدَّاعِي وَإِبْرَارِ الْمُقْسِمِ وَنَصْرِ الْمَظْلُومِ  

The Prophet ﷺ forbade the wearing of a gold ring.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ سَمِعَ النَّضْرَ سَمِعَ بَشِيرًا مِثْلَهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore a gold or silver .. ring and placed its stone towards the palm of his hand. The people also started wearing gold rings like it, but when the Prophet ﷺ saw them wearing such rings, he threw away that golden ring and then wore a silver ring.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَجَعَلَ فَصَّهُ مِمَّا يَلِي كَفَّهُ فَاتَّخَذَهُ النَّاسُ فَرَمَى بِهِ وَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore a gold ring or a silver ring and placed its stone towards the palm of his hand and had the name 'Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah' engraved on it. The people also started wearing gold rings like it, but when the Prophet ﷺ saw them wearing such rings, he threw away his own ring and said. "I will never wear it," and then wore a silver ring, whereupon the people too started wearing silver rings. Ibn ʿUmar added: After the Prophet ﷺ Abu Bakr wore the ring, and then ʿUmar and then ʿUthman wore it till it fell in the Aris well from ʿUthman.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ وَجَعَلَ فَصَّهُ مِمَّا يَلِي كَفَّهُ وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَاتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ مِثْلَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ قَدِ اتَّخَذُوهَا رَمَى بِهِ وَقَالَ لاَ أَلْبَسُهُ أَبَدًا ثُمَّ اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَاتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَ الْفِضَّةِ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَلَبِسَ الْخَاتَمَ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ عُثْمَانُ حَتَّى وَقَعَ مِنْ عُثْمَانَ فِي بِئْرِ أَرِيسَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore a gold ring, then he threw it and said, "I will never wear it." The people also threw their (gold) rings.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَلْبَسُ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَنَبَذَهُ فَقَالَ لاَ أَلْبَسُهُ أَبَدًا فَنَبَذَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَهُمْ  

that he saw a silver ring on the hand of Messenger of Allah ﷺ for one day only. Then the people had silver rings made for themselves and wore it. On that, Messenger of Allah ﷺ threw away their rings as well. (For the details of this Hadith, see Fath-ul-Bari, Vol. 12, page 438).  

أَنَّهُ رَأَى فِي يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ اصْطَنَعُوا الْخَوَاتِيمَ مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَلَبِسُوهَا فَطَرَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَاتَمَهُ فَطَرَحَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَهُمْ  

Anas was asked, "Did the Prophet ﷺ wear a ring?" Anas said, "Once he delayed the: ʿIsha' prayer till midnight. Then he came, facing us ..... as if l am now Looking at the glitter of his ring ..... and said, "The people have offered their prayers and slept but you have been in prayer as you have been waiting for it."  

سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ هَلِ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَاتَمًا قَالَ أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلاَةَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ قَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَنَامُوا وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلاَةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا  

The ring of the Prophet ﷺ was of silver, and its stone was of silver too.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ خَاتَمُهُ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَكَانَ فَصُّهُ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have come to present myself to you (for marriage)." She kept standing for a long period during which period the Prophet ﷺ looked at her carefully. When she stayed for a Long period, a man said to the Prophet ﷺ "If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got anything to give her (as Mahr)?" The man said, "No." The Prophet said, "Go (to your house) and search for something." The man went and came back to say, "By Allah, I could not find anything." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go again and search for something, even if it be an iron ring." He went again and came back saying, "No, by Allah, I could not get even an iron ring." The man had only an Izar and had no Rida' (upper garment). He said, "I will give her my Izar as Mahr." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Your Izar? If she wears it, nothing of it will remain on you, and if you wear it nothing of it will be on her" The man went aside and sat down When the Prophet ﷺ saw him leaving (after a while), he called back and asked. "How much Qur'an do you know (by heart)? He said, 'I know such and such Suras," naming some Suras. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I marry her to you for the amount of Qur'an you know (by heart).  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلاً يَقُولُ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ جِئْتُ أَهَبُ نَفْسِي فَقَامَتْ طَوِيلاً فَنَظَرَ وَصَوَّبَ فَلَمَّا طَالَ مُقَامُهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ زَوِّجْنِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَكَ بِهَا حَاجَةٌ قَالَ عِنْدَكَ شَىْءٌ تُصْدِقُهَا قَالَ لاَ قَالَ انْظُرْ فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ وَلَوْ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ قَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ وَلاَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَعَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ مَا عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ فَقَالَ أُصْدِقُهَا إِزَارِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِزَارُكَ إِنْ لَبِسَتْهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ وَإِنْ لَبِسْتَهُ لَمَ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهَا مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ فَتَنَحَّى الرَّجُلُ فَجَلَسَ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُوَلِّيًا فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَدُعِيَ فَقَالَ مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ سُورَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا لِسُوَرٍ عَدَّدَهَا قَالَ قَدْ مَلَّكْتُكَهَا بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to write a letter to a group of people or some non-Arabs. It was said to him, "They do not accept any letter unless it is stamped." So the Prophet ﷺ had a silver ring made for himself, and on it was engraved: 'Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah'. .. as if I am now looking at the glitter of the ring on the finger (or in the palm) of the Prophet ﷺ .  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى رَهْطٍ أَوْ أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الأَعَاجِمِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَقْبَلُونَ كِتَابًا إِلاَّ عَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ فَاتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ نَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَكَأَنِّي بِوَبِيصِ أَوْ بِبَصِيصِ الْخَاتَمِ فِي إِصْبَعِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ فِي كَفِّهِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a silver ring made for himself and it was worn by him on his hand. Afterwards it was worn by Abu Bakr, and then by ʿUmar, and then by ʿUthman till it fell in the Aris well. (On that ring) was engraved: 'Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah."  

اتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ كَانَ بَعْدُ فِي يَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ كَانَ بَعْدُ فِي يَدِ عُمَرَ ثُمَّ كَانَ بَعْدُ فِي يَدِ عُثْمَانَ حَتَّى وَقَعَ بَعْدُ فِي بِئْرِ أَرِيسَ نَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ got a ring made for himself and said, "I have got a ring made (for myself) and engraved a certain engraving on it so none of you should get such an engraving on his ring." I saw the glitter of the ring on his little finger.  

صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَاتَمًا قَالَ إِنَّا اتَّخَذْنَا خَاتَمًا وَنَقَشْنَا فِيهِ نَقْشًا فَلاَ يَنْقُشْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَإِنِّي لأَرَى بَرِيقَهُ فِي خِنْصَرِهِ  

When the Prophet ﷺ intended to write to the Byzantines, it was said to him, "Those people do not read your letter unless it is stamped." So the Prophet ﷺ took a silver ring and got 'Muhammad, the Apostle of Allah' engraved on it .... as if I am now looking at its glitter in his hand.  

لَمَّا أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى الرُّومِ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَقْرَءُوا كِتَابَكَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَخْتُومًا فَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَنَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي يَدِهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ had a golden ring made for himself, and when he wore it. he used to turn its stone toward the palm of his! hand. So the people too had gold made for themselves. The Prophet ﷺ then ascended the pulpit, and after glorifying and praising Allah, he said, "I had it made for me, but now I will never wear it again." He threw it away, and then the people threw away their rings too. (Juwairiya, a subnarrator, said: I think Anas said that the Prophet ﷺ was wearing the ring in his right hand.)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اصْطَنَعَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ جَعَلَ فَصَّهُ فِي بَطْنِ كَفِّهِ إِذَا لَبِسَهُ فَاصْطَنَعَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَرَقِيَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ اصْطَنَعْتُهُ وَإِنِّي لاَ أَلْبَسُهُ فَنَبَذَهُ فَنَبَذَ النَّاسُ قَالَ جُوَيْرِيَةُ وَلاَ أَحْسِبُهُ إِلاَّ قَالَ فِي يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a silver ring and had 'Muhammad, the Apostle' of Allah' engraved on it. The Prophet then said (to us), 'I have a silver ring with 'Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah engraved on it, so none of you should have the same engraving on his ring."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي اتَّخَذْتُ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَنَقَشْتُ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَلاَ يَنْقُشَنَّ أَحَدٌ عَلَى نَقْشِهِ  

that when Abu Bakr became the Caliph, he wrote a letter to him (and stamped it with the Prophet's ring) and the engraving of the ring was in three lines: Muhammad in one line, 'Apostle' in another line, and 'Allah' in a third line.  

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ لَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ كَتَبَ لَهُ وَكَانَ نَقْشُ الْخَاتَمِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَسْطُرٍ مُحَمَّدٌ سَطْرٌ وَرَسُولُ سَطْرٌ وَاللَّهِ سَطْرٌ  

The ring of the Prophet ﷺ was in his hand, and after him, in Abu Bakr's hand, and then in ʿUmar's hand after Abu Bakr. When ʿUthman was the Caliph, once he was sitting at the well of Aris. He removed the ring from his hand and while he was trifling with it, dropped into the well. We kept on going to the well with ʿUthman for three days looking for the ring, and finally the well was drained, but the ring was not found.  

كَانَ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي يَدِهِ وَفِي يَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بَعْدَهُ وَفِي يَدِ عُمَرَ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ جَلَسَ عَلَى بِئْرِ أَرِيسَ قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَ الْخَاتَمَ فَجَعَلَ يَعْبَثُ بِهِ فَسَقَطَ قَالَ فَاخْتَلَفْنَا ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ فَنَنْزَحُ الْبِئْرَ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ  

I offered the ʿId prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and he offered prayer before the Khutba (sermon). ibn ʿAbbas added: After the prayer the Prophet ﷺ came towards (the rows of) the women and ordered them to give alms, and the women started putting their big and small rings in the garment of Bilal.  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ شَهِدْتُ الْعِيدَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَصَلَّى قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ وَزَادَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ فَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَجَعَلْنَ يُلْقِينَ الْفَتَخَ وَالْخَوَاتِيمَ فِي ثَوْبِ بِلاَلٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ came out on the day of ʿId and offered a two-rakʿat prayer, and he did not pray any rakʿa before it, nor after it. Then he went towards the women and ordered them to give alms. The women started donating their earring and necklaces.  

خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلُ وَلاَ بَعْدُ ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تَصَدَّقُ بِخُرْصِهَا وَسِخَابِهَا  

A necklace belonging to Asma' was lost, and the Prophet ﷺ sent men in its search. The time for the prayer became due and they were without ablution and they could not find water; therefore they prayed without ablution, They mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ . Then Allah revealed the Verse of Tayammum. (ʿAisha added: that she had borrowed (the necklace) from Asma').  

هَلَكَتْ قِلاَدَةٌ لأَسْمَاءَ فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي طَلَبِهَا رِجَالاً فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى وُضُوءٍ وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً فَصَلَّوْا وَهُمْ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ زَادَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ اسْتَعَارَتْ مِنْ أَسْمَاءَ  

"The Prophet ﷺ offered a two-rakʿat prayer on ʿId day and he did not offer any (Nawafil prayer) before or after it. He then went towards the women, and Bilal was accompanying him, and ordered them to give alms. And so the women started giving their earrings (etc .).  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلاَ بَعْدَهَا ثُمَّ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُلْقِي قُرْطَهَا
