5314. It was narrated from Jarīr from Sulaimān At-Taimī, from Abū 'Uthmān An-Nahdī, who said: "We were with 'Utbah bin Farqad when the letter of 'Umar came, saying that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'No one wears silk except one who has no share of it in the Hereafter, except this much.'" And Abū 'Uthmān gestured with the two fingers that are next to the thumb. And I saw the two of them pointing to the borders of the Tayālisah, so that I could see the Tayālisah.[1] (Saḥīḥ)

Commentary
1. The fringes of sheets and shirts are often hemmed with silk straps; for instance, the front collars, sleeves, etc. There is no harm in doing so. Sometimes silk flaps are mounted on shoulders. There is no harm in them as
well. But the straps should not be too wide. They ought to be equal to the width of a finger or so, meaning an inch or an inch and a half.
2. 'I at once understood': So to speak, Tailsân (plural Tayâlisah) was a shawl-like garment which was worn over shoulders. Its borders used to be hemmed with silk straps. The utterer of this sentence is Sulaimân Taymi, the pupil of Abû Uthman An-Nahdi.
