عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الرَّحَبِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَلْقَى لَهُ وَسَادَةً فَظَنَّ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ أَنَّهَا حَرِيرٌ فَتَنَحَّى يَمْشِي الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى بَلَغَ آخِرَ السِّمَاطِ وَخَالِدٌ يُكَلِّمُ رَجُلًا ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَخِي مَا ظَنَنْتَ أَظَنَنْتَ أَنَّهَا حَرِيرٌ قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَسْتَمْتِعُ بِالْحَرِيرِ مَنْ يَرْجُو أَيَّامَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ غُفْرًا أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلْ كُنَّا فِي قَوْمٍ مَا كَذَبُونَا وَلَا كُذِّبْنَا
Habib bin Ubaid al-Habi says: Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Khalid bin Yazid. He placed a cushion for him. Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that it was made of silk, so he withdrew his feet and separated himself from it, until he reached the end of the gathering, while Khalid was talking to another man. Then, when Khalid turned towards Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said to him: O my brother! What did you think? Do you think this is made of silk? So Khalid removed the doubt. Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever hopes for the blessings of Allah, let him not benefit from silk. Khalid said to Abu Umamah: Did you hear this hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: O Allah! Forgive me, Khalid is asking me whether I heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah. We were among such people that whatever they narrated to us, they did not lie in it, nor were we ever denied.
