In the variant in Bukhari and Muslim from Hudhayfa is: "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Do not wear silk or silk brocade nor drink from gold and silver vessels or plates."

1797. Anas ibn Sirin said, "I was with Anas ibn Malik with a group of Magians and a sweet was brought on a silver dish but he did not eat it. The bearer was told to change the dish and it was transferred to a wooden dish. Then it was brought again and he ate it." [al-Bayhaqi]
