Sahih Muslim 2069b (Book 37, Hadith 25) #12510
The Prohibition of Wearing Silk Clothes

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to wear silk clothes for women, as it was prohibited by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Khalifa b. Ka'b AbCi Dhubyan reported: I heard 'Abdullah b. Zubair addressing the people and saying: Behold! do not dress your women with silk clothes for I heard 'Umar b. Khattab as saying that he had heard Allah's messenger as saying: Do not wear silk, for one who wear it in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ خَلِيفَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، أَبِي ذُبْيَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ أَلاَ لاَ تُلْبِسُوا نِسَاءَكُمُ الْحَرِيرَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَلْبَسُوا الْحَرِيرَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ لَبِسَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَلْبَسْهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ
