حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ کَانَ يَنْهَی عَنْ الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ إِلَّا مَا کَانَ هَکَذَا ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ ثُمَّ الثَّانِيَةِ ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةِ ثُمَّ الرَّابِعَةِ فَقَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَانَا عَنْهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3593
It was narrated from 'Umar that he used to forbid silk and brocade, except for what was like this: Then he gestured with his finger, then a second, and a third, and a fourth (i.e., the width of four fingers), and he said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H used to forbid it:' (Sahih)
