The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the gold ring, garments made of qassi silk, the mithara saddle-cushion, and the intoxicating drink known as jiah.
نهى رسول الله ﷺ عن خاتم الذهب، وعن القسي، وعن الميثرة، وعن الجعة.
Tirmidhi (2808), Abu Dawud (4051), Nasai (8/165), Ibn Majah (3654), Ibn Abu Shayba (8/110), and Ahmad (1102) all narrated it from the hadith of Abu Ahwas, from Abu Ishaq, from Hubayra, from Ali, who said, "..." and he mentioned it. The wording is Tirmidhi's, and some of them abbreviated it. Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Hubayra, who is Ibn Yarim, concerning whom there is disagreement, though his hadith is hasan. Tirmidhi said, this is a hasan sahih hadith. Abu Ishaq is Subayi, a mudallis, but Shubah also narrated it as found in Abu Dawud, and he is the one who said, "I have spared you the tadlis of Abu Ishaq."His saying "the mithara" (with a kasra on the meem and a fatha on the tha) refers to a padded seat placed on top of the camel's saddle beneath the rider, and this is the practice of the arrogant, but if the intention behind it is to give relief to the weak, then there is no harm in that. His saying "the jia" (with a kasra on the jeem and a sakin on the ayn) refers to the beverage made from fermented barley.
