Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، اللباس، باب ما جاء في الخز، حديث:4039، وأصله في البخاري، الأشربة، باب ما جاء فيمن يسحل الخمر ويسميه بغير اسمه، حديث:5590.»
Explanation:
In this hadith, two things have been declared forbidden: one is wearing silk, and the other is fornication and adultery.
Wearing silk garments breeds arrogance and pride within a person.
And this is the attire of the arrogant; for this reason, it has been declared forbidden for the men of the ummah. Furthermore, it is an adornment and a delicate garment, which, contrary to men, is considered the attire of women, and it is forbidden for men to imitate women.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ In this hadith, the word "al-khazz" (with both kha and za dotted) has three meanings which have been mentioned above. Pure silk is unanimously haram (forbidden) for men. The conjunction between "al-khazz" and "al-hareer" (silk) is either for explanation or for indicating a type. If it is mixed or of another type, then it is better to avoid it, so that there is no resemblance to non-Muslims and affluent people.
➋ There is another narration of this word "al-khazz" as "al-hurr" (with ha having a kasrah and ra undotted). Its meaning is: "farj," that is, the private part for a woman. The implication is that those people will consider adultery and wearing silk garments to be lawful.
➌ The transformation of such people, meaning the changing of their forms, if it happens in reality, then it is not difficult for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. And if what is meant is metaphorical, then in the present circumstances, among the permissive people, the characteristics of monkeys and pigs can be observed, as people, in imitation of non-Muslims, do not feel any shame in boldness, dishonor, and cuckoldry.
