وَعَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَبْعٍ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ أَمَرَنَا: بِعِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ وَاتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ وَتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ وَرَدِّ السَّلَامِ وَإِجَابَةِ الدَّاعِي وَإِبْرَارِ الْمُقْسِمِ وَنَصْرِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنِ الْحَرِيرِ والْإِسْتَبْرَقِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ وَالْقَسِّيِّ وَآنِيَةِ الْفِضَّةِ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ وَعَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي الْفِضَّةِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ شَرِبَ فِيهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا لم يشرب فِيهَا فِي الْآخِرَة
Al-Bara ibn Azib said: The Prophet commanded us to do seven things and forbade us seven things. He commanded us to visit the sick, follow funeral processions, invoke mercy for the sneezer, return greetings, accept invitations, help a person fulfill an oath, and support the wronged. He forbade us gold rings, silk, istabraq, dibaj, red saddle cushions, qassiy garments, and silver vessels. In one version he also forbade drinking from silver vessels, for whoever drinks from them in this world will not drink from them in the next.
Translation notes
The English witness adds explanations of qassiy fabric not included in this Arabic block; qassiy and the other specialized textile names are kept concise here.
وَعَنِ الْحَرِيرِ والْإِسْتَبْرَقِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ وَالْقَسِّيِّ
The Arabic lists several technical textile and saddle-cover terms. The exact distinctions between istabraq, dibaj, and qassiy are not established by this wording alone.
