1239. Narated Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered us to do seven things and forbade us from doing other seven things. He ordered us: (1) to follow the funeral procession, (2) to visit the sick, (3) to accept invitations, (4) to help the oppressed, (5) to fulfil the oaths, (6) to return the greetings and (7) to reply to the sneezer: [saying "Yarhamu-ka-Allāh (may Allāh be Merciful to you)," provided the sneezer says, "Al-hamdu-lillah (all the praises are for Allāh)"]. He forbade us to use silver utensils (and dishes) and to wear golden rings, silk (clothes), Dibāj (pure silk cloth), Qussī and Istabraq (two kinds of silk cloths).
