Sayyiduna Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to visit Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) in his illness and saw on him an ornate garment, that is, of silk. He said: "O Ibn Abbas! What is this garment?" Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What is it?" He said: "Silk." He said: "It is disliked only for one who is arrogant in it." He said: "What are these images on the brazier?" He said: "Do you not see how I am burning them with fire?" When Miswar (may Allah be pleased with him) had left, Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Take this garment away from me, and cut off the heads of these images that are on the brazier." So they were cut off.
