Musnad Ahmad 251 (Book 2, Hadith 165) #33940
Avoiding Luxury and Extravagance in Clothing

SUMMARY: The hadith warns against wearing silk for women, as it is a sign of luxury and extravagance.

Abu Dhibyan told us: I heard 'Abdullah bin az-Zubair say: Do not let your women wear silk, for I heard 'Umar narrate from the Prophet that he said: 'Whoever wears silk in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter'. And 'Abdullah bin az-Zubair added his own words: And whoever does not wear it in the Hereafter will not enter Paradise. Allah says: "and their garments therein will be of silk' Fatir 35:33.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو ذِبْيَانَ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، يَقُولُ لَا تُلْبِسُوا نِسَاءَكُمْ الْحَرِيرَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ يَقُولُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ لَبِسَ الْحَرِيرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَلْبَسْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ و قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَلْبَسْهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏وَلِبَاسُهُمْ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ‏}‏‏.‏
