Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34788 — Silk clothing that was permitted

Al-Mundhir (may Allah have mercy on him) said that either Ilba bin Ahmar al-Yashkuri or Ibn Buraydah (may Allah have mercy on him), one of the two, said: Some of the Muhajirun said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "When we saw the enemy, we saw that they had covered their weapons in silk, and we became alarmed at the sight of it." At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If you wish, you too may cover your weapons with silk and brocade."
