Hisham bin Abi Ruqayyah narrates: I heard Maslamah bin Mukhallad while he was standing on the pulpit delivering a sermon to the people, saying: "O people, is there not in 'asb and linen (two particular kinds of cloth) something that makes you independent of silk? This man is present among you; he will tell you something from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Stand up, O Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him)." So Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up (the narrator says: I was listening to this myself) and stated: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever deliberately attributes a lie to me, let him prepare to enter Hell." (Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) then said:) I bear witness that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever wears silk in this world will be deprived of wearing it in the Hereafter."
Imam Ahmad, Imam Abu Ya'la, Imam al-Bazzar and Imam al-Tabarani (in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat) recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
