Al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib reported: Allah’s Messenger commanded us to do seven things and forbade us from seven. He commanded us to follow funerals, visit the sick, invoke mercy for those who sneeze, respond to invitations, support the oppressed, help fulfill an oath, and return greetings of peace. He forbade us from gold rings—or gold signet rings—silver vessels, wearing silk, brocade, heavy silk brocade, and qassiy cloth.
Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Al-Ash‘ath ibn Sulaym was al-Ash‘ath ibn Abi al-Sha‘tha’; Abu al-Sha‘tha’s name was Sulaym ibn al-Aswad.

The Arabic list includes different silk fabrics (harir, dibaj, istabraq, and qassiy) as separate prohibited items; gold ring wording has an alternate form. The source identifies al-Ash‘ath and his father by name.
