Narrated Hudhaifah (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade us from eating and drinking from gold and silver vessels, and from wearing or siting upon silk or brocade. [Reported by al-Bukhari].

Narrated 'Umar (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the wearing of silk except the space of two or three or four fingers. [Agreed upon, and the wording is from Muslim].

Narrated Anas (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) gave permission to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and az-Zubair to wear silk during the journey because of an itching which they suffered from. [Agreed upon].

Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) presented me a silk suit of clothing. I went out wearing it, but on noticing anger on his face, I cut it up (and divided it) among the women of my household. [Agreed upon, and this is the wording of Muslim].

Narrated Abu Musa (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Gold and silk are lawful for the females among my followers, but prohibited to the males". [Reported by Ahmad, an-Nasa'i and at-Tirmidhi, who graded it Sahih (authentic)].

Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr (RA): She brought out the mantle (over-garment) of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) with it's collar, sleeves, front and back hemmed with brocade (silk). [Abu Dawud reported it]. Its basic meaning is in Muslim's Sahih with the addition: "It was with 'Aishah (RA) till she died, then I took possession of it. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to wear it, and we wash it for the sick, seeking cure by means of it." al-Bukhari added in Adab al-Mufrad: "He [the Prophet (ﷺ)] used to wear it on the visit of a delegation and on Fridays."
