Musnad Ahmad 710 (Book 5, Hadith 143) #34369
Prohibitions on Clothing and Recitation of the Quran

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade Ali bin Abi Talib from wearing gold rings, garments made of a blend of linen and silk or garments dyed with safflower, and reciting Qur'an whilst bowing.

Ibraheem bin 'Abdullah bin Hunain narrated that his father said: I heard 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah forbade me, but I do not say that he forbade you, to wear gold rings, to wear garments made of a blend of linen and silk or garments dyed with safflower, and to recite Qur'an whilst bowing. He gave me a suit of pure silk and I went out wearing it, and he said: 'O 'Ali, I did not give it to you to wear it". So I went back to Fatimah (رضي الله عنها) and gave it to her to hold an edge of it, so she took hold of it to fold it with me, but I tore it in two. She said: May your hands be rubbed with dust, O son of Abu Talib! What have you done? I said to her. The Messenger of Allah forbade me to wear it. Wear it and give it to your womenfolk.
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَا أَقُولُ نَهَاكُمْ عَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ وَقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ وَكَسَانِي حُلَّةً مِنْ سِيَرَاءَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكْسُكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ بِهَا إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا نَاحِيَتَهَا فَأَخَذَتْ بِهَا لِتَطْوِيَهَا مَعِي فَشَقَّقْتُهَا بِثِنْتَيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مَاذَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ لُبْسِهَا فَالْبَسِي وَاكْسِي نِسَاءَكِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibitions given by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He forbade Ali bin Abi Talib from wearing gold rings, garments made of a blend of linen and silk or garments dyed with safflower, and reciting Qur'an whilst bowing. It is important to note that these prohibitions were only for Ali bin Abi Talib himself; they do not apply to everyone else. The Prophet gave him a suit of pure silk as a gift but when he went out wearing it, the Prophet asked him to take it off because he was not allowed to wear it. He then gave it to Fatimah who held an edge while folding it but he tore it in two instead. This shows us how important following the teachings of Islam are even if we don't understand why something is prohibited at first glance. We must trust in Allah's wisdom even if we don't understand why something has been forbidden at first glance.
