1878. Shu'bah bin Al-Hakam narrated: "I heard Ibn Abī Lailā narrating that Hudhaifah asked for water, so someone brought him a vessel made from silver. He threw it, and said: 'I have indeed forbade him, but he refused to stop! Indeed the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited drinking from silver and gold vessels, and from wearing silk and Dībāj, and he ﷺ said: "It is for them in this world, and for you in the Hereafter." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Umm Salamah, Al-Barā', and 'Aishah.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
Eating and drinking from gold and silver vessels as well as wearing silk and Dībāj (for men) smacks of propensity for ostentation, self-pride and a desire to make a show of one's wealth and opulence. Hence the prohibition.
