3590 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ، وَالذَّهَبِ وَقَالَ: «هُوَ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَلَنَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ»

Commentary

Wearing pure silk, making handkerchiefs, bedding and the like with it, all types of its uses are forbidden for men. Wearing gold is also forbidden for men whether it is a necklace, a ring, a watch-band, buttons or any other ornament all has the same ruling. However, it is not forbidden for a man to possess gold if he does not wear it.
