Sahih al-Bukhari 5987 (Book 78, Hadith 246)

Narrated Al-Bara: The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to do seven (things) and forbade us from seven (other things): He ordered us
to pay a visit to the sick, to follow funeral possessions, to say: May Allah be merciful to you to a
sneezer, – if he says: Praise be to Allah, to accept invitation (invitation to a wedding banquet), to
return greetings, to help the oppressed, and to help others to fulfill their oaths (provided it was not
sinful). And he forbade us from seven (things): to wear golden rings or golden bangles, to wear silk
(cloth), Dibaj, Sundus and Mayathir.

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِسَبْعٍ، وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ، أَمَرَنَا بِعِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ، وَاتِّبَاعِ الْجِنَازَةِ، وَتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ، وَإِجَابَةِ الدَّاعِي، وَرَدِّ السَّلاَمِ، وَنَصْرِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَإِبْرَارِ الْمُقْسِمِ، وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ، عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ ـ أَوْ قَالَ حَلْقَةِ الذَّهَبِ ـ وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ، وَالدِّيبَاجِ، وَالسُّنْدُسِ، وَالْمَيَاثِرِ‏.‏

Sahih al-Bukhari 5987 (Book 78, Hadith 246)

 

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
