5147. 'Alī bin Abī Tālib said: "The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ took hold of some silk in his right hand and some gold in his left, then he said: 'These two are forbidden for the males of my Ummah.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

5144 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أَفْلَحَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ ابْنِ زُرَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ حَرِيرًا، فَجَعَلَهُ فِي يَمِينِهِ، وَأَخَذَ ذَهَبًا فَجَعَلَهُ فِي شِمَالِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ حَرَامٌ عَلَى ذُكُورِ أُمَّتِي»

Commentary

So to speak, they are permissible for women, as is unequivocally mentioned in the forthcoming narrations; whereas it is not permissible for men to imitate women. Adornment and beautification is a woman's strong point or specialty. It is contrary to manliness.
