Asim AlAbwal reported on the authority Abu Uthman saying: Umar wrote to us when we were in Adharbaijan saying: Utba Bin Farqad; this wealth is neither the result of your own labour nor the result of the labour of your father; nor the result of the labour of your mother; so feed Muslims at their own places as you feed members of your family and yourselves at your own residence ; and beware of the life of pleasure; and the dress of the polytheists and wearing of silk garments; for Allah Messenger ﷺ forbade the wearing of silk garments; but only this much; and Allah Messenger ﷺ raised his. forefinger and middle finger and he joined. them to indicate that only this much silk can be allowed in the dress of a man. Aasi m said also: This is what is recorded in the lette.; sent to us ; and Zuhair raised his two fingers to give an idea of the extent to which silk may be used.
