"We were with 'Utbah bin Farqad when the letter of 'Umar came, saying that the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'No one wears silk except one who has no share of it in the Hereafter, except this much.'" And Abu 'Uthman gestured with the two fingers that are next to the thumb. And I saw the two of them pointing to the borders of the Tayalisah, so that I could see the Tayalisah.  

النسائي:٥٣١٢ – أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ فَجَاءَ كِتَابُ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرَ إِلاَّ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ هَكَذَا وَقَالَ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ اللَّتَيْنِ تَلِيَانِ الإِبْهَامَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمَا أَزْرَارَ الطَّيَالِسَةِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الطَّيَالِسَةَ

While we were with 'Utba b. Farqad there came a letter of 'Umar (containing the instructions) that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said: None should wear silk (with the exception of so much) but he will have nothing of it in the Hereafter. Abu 'Uthman said: To the extent of two fingers which are close to the thumb, and I was shown the (silk) borders of the Tayalisa mantle (which were about two fingers in breadth and I saw them.

ahmad:243 – Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > al-Taymī

We were with ʿUtbah bin Farqad and ʿUmar ؓ wrote to him about things he narrated from the Prophet ﷺ. Among the things he wrote was that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿNo one wears silk in this world except one who will not wear it in the Hereafter, except this much,ʿ and he gestured with his two fingers, the forefinger and the middle finger. Abu ʿUthman said: I thought this referred to the edging of the tayalisah (a shawl-like garment) when we first saw the tayalisah.  

أحمد:٢٤٣ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ قَالَكُنَّا مَعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بِأَشْيَاءَ

يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَ فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا هَكَذَا وَقَالَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى قَالَ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّهَا أَزْرَارُ الطَّيَالِسَةِ حِينَ رَأَيْنَا الطَّيَالِسَةَ
