The Prophet of Allah ﷺ forbade the wearing of silk except for the width of two, three, or four fingers.
حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر القواريري وأبو غسان المسمعي وزهير بن حرب وإسحق بن إبراهيم ومحمد بن المثنى وابن بشار قال إسحق أخبرنا وقال الآخرون حدثنا معاذ بن هشام حدثني أبي عن قتادة عن عامر الشعبي عن سويد بن غفلة أن
نهى نبي الله ﷺ عن لبس الحرير إلا موضع إصبعين أو ثلاث أو أربع
Muslim also narrated the hadith of Qatada, from Shaybi, from Suwayd bin Ghafla, from Umar, from the Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his family, that he forbade the wearing of silk except for the width of two fingers, through the narration of Hisham, Shuba, and Saeed, from him.No one but Qatada made this a marfu report from Shaybi, and Qatada is a mudallis, so perhaps it reached him from him indirectly. Shuba also narrated it from Ibn Abu Safar, from Shaybi, from Suwayd, from Umar, as his own statement. Likewise, Bayan and Dawud bin Abu Hind narrated it from Shaybi, from Suwayd, from Umar, as his own statement. Shuba also narrated it from Hakam, from Khaythama, from Suwayd, from Umar. Ibrahim bin Abdul-Ala narrated it from Suwayd, and Abu Husayn narrated it from Ibrahim Nakhai, from Suwayd, from Umar, as his own statement.He also narrated the hadith of Hisham and Saeed, from Qatada, from Shaybi, from Suwayd bin Ghafla, from Umar, that the Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his family, forbade the wearing of silk except like this, and he gestured with his two fingers. No one but Qatada made this marfu. Shuba narrated it from Abdullah bin Abu Safar, from Shaybi, from Suwayd bin Ghafla, from Umar, as mawquf. Likewise, Dawud said, from Shaybi, from Suwayd, from Umar, as his own statement. Shuba also narrated it from Hakam, from Khaythama, from Suwayd bin Ghafla, from Umar, as mawquf. And Abu Husayn narrated it from Ibrahim, from Suwayd, from Umar, as his own statement.
