Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2559b
"عَن سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ قَالَ: أَقبَلنَا مِنَ الشَّامِ وَقَدْ فَتَحَ اللَّه لَنَا فُتُوحًا وَعُمَرُ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَاعِدٌ بِظَهْرِ المدِينَةِ يَتَلَقَانَا وَلَبِسْنَا بُرودًا مماسة الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاج وَثِيَاب الْعَجَمِ، فَلَمَّا رآهُ عُمر جَعَلَ يَرْمِينَا، فَرَجَعْنَا فَلَبِسْنَا بُرُدًا يَمَانِيةً، فَلَمَّا انْتَهيْنَا إِلَيْه قَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِأَولاد الْمُهَاجِرِينَ! إِنَّ الحَرِيرَ لَمْ يَرْضَهُ اللَّه لِمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَيَرْضَاهُ لَكُمْ، إِنَّ الحَريرَ لَا يَصْلُحُ مِنهُ إِلَّا هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا -يَعْنِى أُصْبُعًا وَأُصْبُعَيْنِ وَثَلَاثًا وَأرْبَعًا".

"Suwayd ibn Ghafalah said: We came from al-Sham, and Allah had granted us conquests, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was sitting on the outskirts of Madinah, waiting to meet us. We had worn striped garments of silk, brocade and foreign cloth. When 'Umar saw us, he began to throw at us, so we went back and put on Yemeni striped cloaks. When we reached him he said: "Welcome, sons of the Muhajirun! Indeed silk has not been pleasing to Allah for those before you, so that it would be pleasing to Him for you. Silk is not suitable except like this and like this and like this" — meaning a finger, two fingers, three and four."
