1721. Suwaid bin Ghafalah narrated that ‘Umar gave a Khutbah at Al-Jābiyah and he said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited silk except for two finger’s worth of space, or three, or four.” (Ṣaḥīh) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh.
١٧٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ بِالْجَابِيَةِ فَقَالَ «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ» أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Hadīth tells us that if a piece of cloth contains two, three or four fingers’ width of silk thread, it is allowed to use it. More than four fingers width is prohibited (for men). An overwhelming majority of scholars holds this to be the right view. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, v.3, p.40).
