Sahih al-Bukhari 5632 (Book 74, Hadith 58) #5407
Abstaining from Luxury Items

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ forbade Muslims from wearing clothes of silk or Dibaj and drinking in gold or silver utensils, as these things are for unbelievers in this world and for Muslims in the Hereafter.

Narrated Ibn Abi Laila: While Hudhayfah was at Mada'in, he asked for water. The chief of the village brought him a silver vessel. Hudhaifa threw it away and said, "I have thrown it away because I told him not to use it, but he has not stopped using it. The Prophet forbade us to wear clothes of silk or Dibaj, and to drink in gold or silver utensils, and said, 'These things are for them (unbelievers) in this world and for you (Muslims) in the Hereafter'. "
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ كَانَ حُذَيْفَةُ بِالْمَدَايِنِ فَاسْتَسْقَى، فَأَتَاهُ دِهْقَانٌ بِقَدَحِ فِضَّةٍ، فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَرْمِهِ إِلاَّ أَنِّي نَهَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ، وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ نَهَانَا عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَالشُّرْبِ فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هُنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَهْىَ لَكُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Ibn Abi Laila, who recounts a story of Hudhayfah while he was at Mada'in. He asked for water and the chief of the village brought him a silver vessel. Hudhaifa threw it away because he had told him not to use it but he did not listen. The Prophet then forbade Muslims from wearing clothes made of silk or Dibaj, which is a type of fabric, as well as drinking from gold or silver utensils. He explained that these items are meant for unbelievers in this world and will be given to Muslims in the Hereafter instead. This hadith teaches us that we should abstain from luxury items such as expensive clothing and utensils made out of precious metals like gold and silver since they are meant only for those who do not believe in God's teachings here on Earth. We should focus our attention on what we can gain after death rather than what we can have now while living on Earth.
