عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنْ مِيثَرَةِ الْأُرْجُوَانِ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَرْكَبُهَا وَلَا أَلْبَسُ قَمِيصًا مَكْفُوفًا بِحَرِيرٍ وَلَا أَلْبَسُ الْقَسِّيَّ
Abu Zubair says: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about red silk cushions. He said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I neither ride using such cushions, nor do I wear a shirt whose edges are of silk, nor will I wear silk clothing.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … We have translated "al-urjuwan" as "red"; in reality, this word is an Arabized form of "arghawan." It is a red-colored flower. Referring to cushions as "arghawan" means likening them in color, i.e., red-colored cushions. It has already been mentioned that the reason for prohibiting "maitharah" (cushion) was the silk that was used in its making.
