Sahih al-Bukhari 6081 (Book 78, Hadith 109) #5838
Luxury and its Consequences

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned against wearing silk as it is a sign of luxury and those who indulge in luxury will not have a share in the Hereafter.

Narrated 'Abdullah: 'Umar saw a silken cloak over a man (for sale) so he took it to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Buy this and wear it when the delegate come to you'. He said, 'The silk is worn by one who will have no share (in the Here-after)'. Some time passed after this event, and then the Prophet sent a (similar) cloak to him'.Umar brought that cloak back to the Prophet and said, 'You have sent this to me, and you said about a similar one what you said?' The Prophet said, 'I have sent it to you so that you may get money by selling it'. Because of this, Ibn 'Umar used to hate the silken markings on the garments.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا الإِسْتَبْرَقُ قُلْتُ مَا غَلُظَ مِنَ الدِّيبَاجِ وَخَشُنَ مِنْهُ‏.‏ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ رَأَى عُمَرُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ حُلَّةً مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ فَأَتَى بِهَا النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اشْتَرِ هَذِهِ فَالْبَسْهَا لِوَفْدِ النَّاسِ إِذَا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْكَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرَ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَمَضَى فِي ذَلِكَ مَا مَضَى، ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِحُلَّةٍ فَأَتَى بِهَا النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ بَعَثْتَ إِلَىَّ بِهَذِهِ، وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِي مِثْلِهَا مَا قُلْتَ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ لِتُصِيبَ بِهَا مَالاً ‏"‏‏.‏ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَكْرَهُ الْعَلَمَ فِي الثَّوْبِ لِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the consequences of indulging in luxury. It was narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar that Umar saw a man selling a silken cloak and suggested to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to buy it for when delegates come to visit him. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) replied that those who wear silk will not have any share in the Hereafter. Later on, he sent Umar a similar cloak so he could sell it for money. Because of this incident, Ibn Umar used to hate silken markings on garments. This hadith teaches us that we should avoid indulging in luxuries as they can lead us away from our ultimate goal which is attaining Jannah or Paradise after death. We should focus on being content with what we have instead of striving for more than what we need as this can lead us astray from our faith and cause us to lose out on rewards from Allah SWT in the hereafter.
