Hadith: Do not wear silk or brocade, and do not drink from gold or silver vessels, and do not eat in platters made therefrom, for they are for them in this world and for us in the Hereafter

عَن عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا عِنْدَ حُذَيْفَةَ، فَاسْتَسْقَى فَسَقَاهُ مَجُوسِيٌّ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ القَدَحَ فِي يَدِهِ رَمَاهُ بِهِ، وَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنِّي نَهَيْتُهُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلاَ مَرَّتَيْنِ -كَأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: لَمْ أَفْعَلْ هَذَا-، وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:

«لاَ تَلْبَسُوا الحَرِيرَ وَلاَ الدِّيبَاجَ، وَلاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالفِضَّةِ، وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا فِي صِحَافِهَا، فَإِنَّهَا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَنَا فِي الآخِرَةِ».
[صحيح] - [متفق عليه] - [صحيح البخاري: 5426]

‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Abi Layla reported that they were in the company of Hudhayfah, who asked for water, and a Magian brought him water. On placing the cup in his hand, he threw it at him and said, Had I not forbidden him more than once or twice—as if he were saying, I would not have done this—however, I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say:
"Do not wear silk or brocade, and do not drink from gold or silver vessels, and do not eat in platters made therefrom, for they are for them in this world and for us in the Hereafter."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim] - [Sahih Bukhari - 5426]

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade men from wearing all kinds of silk. He forbade men and women from eating or drinking in vessels and containers made of gold and silver. He stated that they would be exclusive for the believers on the Day of Judgment because they avoided using them in this world out of obedience to Allah. As for the disbelievers, they will not enjoy it in the Hereafter because they hastened to enjoy their share of pleasures in this world and disobeyed Allah's command.
