Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَيَّ جُبَّةُ خَزٍّ فَقَالَ لِي سَالِمٌ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الثِّيَابِ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرَ مَنْ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to us; ‘Uyaynah informed us, from ‘Ali ibn Zayd, who said: I came to Medina and visited Salim ibn ‘Abd Allah while wearing a silk-brocade jubba. Salim said to me, ‘What are you doing wearing these clothes? I heard my father relate from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Only one who has no share wears silk.”’
