´It was narrated that 'Ali said:` "My beloved, the Messenger of Allah [SAW], forbade me three things but I do not say that he forbade them to the people. He forbade me from wearing rings of gold, from wearing Al-Qassi, and Al-Mu'asfar Al-Mufaddam (garments that are deeply dyed with safflower), and (he forbade me) from reciting Qur'an when prostrating or bowing." He was followed (in that narration) by Ad-Dahhak bin 'Uthman.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) Dahhak bin Uthman has followed (mutaba‘at) Dawud bin Qays in such a way that he has mentioned the intermediary of Abdullah bin Abbas radi Allahu anhuma between Ali radi Allahu anhu and Abdullah bin Haneen, as is found in the chain of the upcoming hadith: 5176. And Allah knows best.
(2) “I do not say”—the intent is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, while addressing me, used singular forms, therefore I also use only singular forms, not plural. Otherwise, the things mentioned are prohibited for all Muslims just as they are for Ali radi Allahu anhu. Thus, the prohibition of gold and silk garments is only for men.
(3) “Kusum (kusumbh)”—this is included among those types of red color that are prohibited for men. Every color has several types.

Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: In the terminology of physicians, it is permissible to use barley water (water in which barley has been boiled).
However, if there is any suspicion of intoxicating effects in it in any way, then it is not lawful.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
English Translation:
The gourd vessel and the tar-coated jug are non-porous, therefore, if nabidh is prepared in them, intoxication develops quickly in it. For this reason, in the time of ignorance, people had designated these vessels specifically for making wine. Thus, in the beginning, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also prohibited nabidh from these vessels. Later, permission was granted on the condition that intoxication does not develop. (The detail has already been discussed in its proper place).

Urdu marginal note:
This was not permitted before; later, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) granted permission, as a vessel itself does not render anything lawful or unlawful. However, abstain from intoxicants. This hadith has no direct relevance to the present chapter except that it may be a fragment of the preceding hadith.
