خُصَيْفٌ ، عَنْ
عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ
أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الذَّهَبِ يُرْبَطُ بِهِ الْمِسْكُ أَوْ تُرْبَطُ ، قَالَ :
" اجْعَلِيهِ فِضَّةً ، وَصَفِّرِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ زَعْفَرَانٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Should we not mix a little musk with gold?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why do you not mix it with silver, then mix it with saffron, by which that silver will also become like gold."
