Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ وَأَظُنُّ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو أَنَّ هِشَامَ بْنَ أَبِي رُقَيَّةَ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنَ مَخْلَدٍ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْعَصَبِ وَالْكَتَّانِ مَا يَكْفِيكُمْ عَنْ الْحَرِيرِ وَهَذَا رَجُلٌ فِيكُمْ يُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُمْ يَا عُقْبَةُ فَقَامَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَذِبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ لَبِسَ الْحَرِيرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حُرِمَهُ أَنْ يَلْبَسَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ.
English Translation
Harun ibn Ma'ruf told us — Abd Allah said: and I think I heard it from him — he said: Ibn Wahb told us, Amr informed me that Hisham ibn Abi Ruqayyah told him, who said: I heard Maslamah ibn Mukhallad, while sitting on the pulpit delivering a sermon to the people, saying: O people, do you not have enough in flax fiber and linen to spare you from silk? And here is a man among you who can inform you from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him — stand up, O Uqbah. So Uqbah ibn Amir stood up while I was listening, and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire; and I bear witness that I heard him say: Whoever wears silk in this world will be deprived of wearing it in the Hereafter.
