Arabic hadith text
قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، يَقُولُ وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ، أَنْ يَلْبَسَ الْغِلْمَانُ، شَيْئًا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ لأَنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ فَأَنَا أَكْرَهُهُ لِلرِّجَالِ الْكَبِيرِ مِنْهُمْ وَالصَّغِيرِ . قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ فِي الْمَلاَحِفِ الْمُعَصْفَرَةِ فِي الْبُيُوتِ لِلرِّجَالِ وَفِي الأَفْنِيَةِ قَالَ لاَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا حَرَامًا وَغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ اللِّبَاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ .
