I said: Ibn Abī Ḥātim added (1/2/339) to those who narrated from him: "Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Shaʿīthī" and likewise in "al-Tahdhīb." And he said: "al-Bukhārī said: He heard from Abū Hurayrah. And Isḥāq ibn Sīyār al-Naṣībī said: I think he did not hear from Abū Hurayrah. Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in 'al-Thiqāt.'" I said: And al-Ājurī reported from Abū Dāwūd: He was the most intelligent of the people of his time." I said: And this isnād supports al-Bukhārī's statement that he heard from Abū Hurayrah, and makes al-Naṣībī's assumption an error. Know that the ḥadīths prohibiting the wearing of silk, drinking wine, and drinking from gold and silver vessels are too numerous to count. I only wished to mention this specifically because it combines the discourse on these three matters and presents them in a single context, then concludes with his saying "the clothing of the people of Paradise..." which appears to be an explanation, meaning that Allāh the Exalted prohibited the wearing of silk (specifically for men) because it is their clothing in Paradise, as He said: (and their clothing therein is silk) (Sūrah Al-Ḥajj, verse 23), and He prohibited wine for both men and women because it is their drink in Paradise (The example of Paradise which the righteous have been promised: therein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk whose taste never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink) (Sūrah Muḥammad, verse 15), and He prohibited drinking from gold and silver vessels for both men and women because they are their vessels (Enter Paradise, you and your spouses, delighted. Circulated among them will be plates of gold and cups) (Sūrah Al-Zukhruf, verses 70-71). So whoever hastens to enjoy these things without concern or repentance will be punished by being deprived of them in the Hereafter as a fitting recompense
