Sunan Abi Dawud 3723 (Book 27, Hadith 55) #24013
Prohibiting Luxury Items

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prohibited wearing silk or brocade and drinking from gold and silver vessels as they are symbols of luxury that will not be available in the afterlife.

Ibn Abi Laila said: When Hudhaifah was in al-Mada’in, he asked for water. A peasant brought him a silver vessel. He threw it away and said: I threw it away, for I prohibited (him) but he did not stop. The Messenger of Allah forbade to wear silk or brocade, and to drink from gold and silver vessels. He said: Others have them in this world and you will have them in the next.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ كَانَ حُذَيْفَةُ بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَاسْتَسْقَى فَأَتَاهُ دِهْقَانٌ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَرْمِهِ بِهِ إِلاَّ أَنِّي قَدْ نَهَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَهَى عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَعَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هِيَ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَكُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ

Stay away from luxurious items .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Ibn Abi Laila tells us about a story of Hudhaifah who was in al-Madain and asked for water. A peasant brought him a silver vessel, but he threw it away because the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had forbidden people to wear silk or brocade, and to drink from gold and silver vessels. He said that others have them in this world but we will not have them in the next life, meaning that these items are symbols of luxury which will not be available after death. This teaches us to stay away from luxurious items as they do not benefit us spiritually or materially in the afterlife. We should focus on our spiritual development instead of materialistic possessions so we can gain rewards from Allah SWT on Judgment Day.
