"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] enjoined seven things upon us, and forbade seven things for us. He forbade to us gold rings, silver vessels, Al-Mayathir, Al-Qassiyah, Al-Istabraq, Ad-Dibaj, and silk." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5309)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٩٥٤٠حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِسَبْعٍ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ عَنْ خَوَاتِيمِ الذَّهَبِ وَآنِيَةِ الْفِضَّةِ وَعَنِ الْمَيَاثِرِ وَالْقَسِّيَّةِ وَالْإِسْتَبْرَقِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَالْحَرِيرِ
