Hadith 251

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو ذِبْيَانَ ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ ، يَقُولُ : لَا تُلْبِسُوا نِسَاءَكُمْ الْحَرِيرَ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ ، يَقُولُ : عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " مَنْ لَبِسَ الْحَرِيرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، لَمْ يَلْبَسْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ " . وقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ : مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَلْبَسْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ الْجَنَّةَ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ سورة الحج آية 23 .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "Do not even let your women wear silk garments, because I heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate this hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever wears silk in this world will not be able to wear it in the Hereafter.'" After this, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said, based on his own reasoning, that whoever cannot wear silk in the Hereafter will not enter Paradise, because the Qur'an states that the clothing of the people of Paradise will be of silk. (Note: This was the personal reasoning of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him); the majority of scholars are of the opinion that the prohibition of silk garments is for men, not for women.)
