Narrated Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib:
The Prophet ordered us to do seven (things) and forbade us from seven. He ordered us to visit the
patients, to follow the funeral procession, to reply to the sneezer (i.e., say to him, ‘Yarhamuka-l-lah
(May Allah bestow His Mercy upon you), if he says ‘Al-hamdulillah’ (Praise be to Allah), to help oth –
ers to fulfill their oaths, to help the oppressed, to greet (whomever one should meet), and to accept
the invitation (to a wedding banquet). He forbade us to wear golden rings, to use silver utensils, to
use Mayathir (cushions of silk stuffed with cotton and placed under the rider on the saddle), the
Qasiyya (linen clothes containing silk brought from an Egyptian town), the Istibraq (thick silk) and
the Dibaj (another kind of silk). (See Hadith No. 539 and 753).
