Muwatta Malik: Book 48, Hadith 5

Yahya said that he heard Malik say, “I disapprove of youths wearing any gold because I heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade wearing gold rings, and I disapprove of it for males old or young.”

Yahya said, “I heard Malik say about men wearing wraps dyed with safflower in their houses and courtyards, ‘I do not know that any of that is haram but I prefer other garments than that.’ “

قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا، يَقُولُ وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ، أَنْ يَلْبَسَ الْغِلْمَانُ، شَيْئًا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ لأَنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ فَأَنَا أَكْرَهُهُ لِلرِّجَالِ الْكَبِيرِ مِنْهُمْ وَالصَّغِيرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ فِي الْمَلاَحِفِ الْمُعَصْفَرَةِ فِي الْبُيُوتِ لِلرِّجَالِ وَفِي الأَفْنِيَةِ قَالَ لاَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا حَرَامًا وَغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ اللِّبَاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ ‏.‏
