'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ wrote to us when we were in Adharba'ijan saying: 'Utba bin Farqad, this wealth is neither the result of your own labour nor the result of the labour of your father, nor the result of the labour of your mother, so feed Muslims at their own places as you feed (members of your family and yourselves at your own residence), and beware of the life of pleasure, and the dress of the polytheists and wearing of silk garments, for Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade the wearing of silk garments, but only this much, and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) raised his. forefinger and middle finger and he joined. them (to indicate that only this much silk can be allowed in the dress of a man). 'Asim said also: This is what is recorded in the lette., (sent to us), and Zuhair raised his two fingers (to give an idea of the extent to which silk may be used).
