3593. It was narrated from 'Umar that he used to forbid silk and brocade, except for what was like this: Then he gestured with his finger, then a second, and a third, and a fourth (i.e., the width of four fingers), and he said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to forbid it." (Sahih)

Arabic text

3593 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ: يَنْهَى عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ، وَالدِّيبَاجِ، إِلَّا مَا كَانَ هَكَذَا، ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ، ثُمَّ الثَّانِيَةِ، ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةِ، ثُمَّ الرَّابِعَةِ، فَقَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَنْهَانَا عَنْهُ "
