11 - Chapter: On the One Who Disliked It

4044 - Al-Qa'nabi narrated to us, from Malik, from Nafi', from Ibrahim ibn 'Abdullah ibn Hunayn, from his father, from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade wearing qassi silk garments, wearing garments dyed with safflower, wearing gold rings, and reciting [the Quran] while in ruku' (bowing).(1)

4045 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Marwazi narrated to us, 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Ibrahim ibn 'Abdullah ibn Hunayn, from his father.

(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Nafi' is the freed slave of Ibn 'Umar, and Malik is Malik ibn Anas, the Imam, and al-Qa'nabi is 'Abdullah ibn Maslamah ibn Qa'nab. It is in the "Muwatta' of Malik" 1/80.
Muslim (2078), al-Tirmidhi (263), and al-Nasa'i in "al-Kubra" (635), (636), (709), (710), (9412-9418), (9571), and (9575) also narrated it via the chain of Ibrahim ibn 'Abdullah ibn Hunayn, from him.
It is in "Musnad Ahmad" (601) and (611), and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (1895).
Al-Nasa'i also narrated it (9429) via the chain of 'Ubaydah al-Salmani, and (9491) via the chain of 'Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, both from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib — though 'Ali ibn al-Husayn did not reach the time of his grandfather 'Ali.
See also what follows it.
Al-Khattabi said: "Al-qassi": garments brought from Egypt containing silk. It is said they are attributed to a land called al-Qass — with a fat-ha on the qaf and a shaddah on the sin — and it is said they are the qazziyyah [meaning made of silk floss], with the zay replaced by a sin. These things were only forbidden for men, not women.
As for reciting the Quran in ruku', he was only forbidden from it because ruku' is the place for glorification and remembrance through exaltation, while the place for recitation is standing. He disliked combining the two in one place, so that each would be in its own proper position. And Allah knows best.
It is also disliked for women to wear silver rings, because that is part of men's attire. If they cannot find gold, let them dye it yellow with saffron or the like.
