Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25709 — Drinking from gold and silver vessels

It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla that he said: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for water at al-Mada'in, and a dihqan brought him water in a silver vessel. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to strike the dihqan's face with this vessel. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) was told: These dihqans honour rulers in this way. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I had forbidden him from this, and as evidence I had also told him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking in vessels of gold and silver.
