أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ هَنَّادٌ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ وَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِسَبْعٍ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ أَمَرَنَا بِعِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ وَتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ وَإِبْرَارِ الْقَسَمِ وَنُصْرَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَإِفْشَاءِ السَّلاَمِ وَإِجَابَةِ الدَّاعِي وَاتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ خَوَاتِيمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنْ آنِيَةِ الْفِضَّةِ وَعَنِ الْمَيَاثِرِ وَالْقَسِّيَّةِ وَالإِسْتَبْرَقِ وَالْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ .
Sulayman ibn Mansur al-Balkhi narrated to us, saying: Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us. (Another route:) Hannad ibn al-Sari narrated to us—in his narration from Abu al-Ahwas—from Ash‘ath, from Mu‘awiyah ibn Suwayd. Hannad said: al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib said… Sulayman said: from al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to do seven things and forbade us from seven things. He commanded us to visit the sick, respond to the sneezer with a prayer for mercy, help someone fulfill an oath, support the oppressed, spread greetings of peace, accept invitations, and follow funeral biers. He forbade us from wearing gold rings, using silver vessels, using mayathir, wearing qassiyah cloth, and wearing istabraq, silk, or dibaj.
Translation notes
The source preserves two transmission formulations: Hannad says ‘al-Bara’ said,’ while Sulayman says ‘from al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib.’
Mayathir, qassiyah, istabraq, and dibaj are retained as specific textile or garment terms.
