The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to me: "Say: O Allah, make me steadfast and guide me." And he forbade me to sit on Al-Mayathir." Al-Mayathir: Qassi which the women used to put on the saddles for their husbands, such as red cushions.
لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ سَدِّدْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَنَهَانِي عَنِ الْجُلُوسِ عَلَى الْمَيَاثِرِ وَالْمَيَاثِرُ قَسِّيٌّ كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ عَلَى الرَّحْلِ كَالْقَطَائِفِ مِنَ الأُرْجُوَانِ
He the Prophet ﷺ, forbade me that I should wear my ring in this (forefinger) or in that near it. 'Asim (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: He did not remember which of the two (fingers) he pointed out; and he forbade to wear Qassi material (silk garments), and to sit on the silk saddle cloth, and he said: As regards Qassi, it is a variegated garment which was brought from Egypt and Syria which had figures upon it, and as regards Mayathir, it is something which women prepared for their husbands as red cloths for their saddles. (Using translation from Muslim 2078d)
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قُلِ اللهُمَّ اهْدِنِي وَسَدِّدْنِي» وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَجْعَلَ خَاتَمِي فِي هَذِهِ الْخِنْصَرِ أَوِ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا لَمْ يَدْرِ عَاصِمٌ فِي أَيِّ الثِّنْتَيْنِ وَنَهَانِي عَنْ لُبْسِ القَسِّيٌّ وعَنِ جُلُوسٍ عَلَى الْمَيَاثِرِ فَأَمَّا القَسِّيٌّ فَثِيَابٌ مُضَلَّعَةٌ يُؤْتَى بِهَا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَالشَّامِ وَأَمَّا الْمَيَاثِرُ فَشَيْءٌ كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ عَلَى الرَّحْلِ كَالْقَطَائِفِ مِنَ الْأُرْجُوَانِ
