Apostle had forbidden the use of silk except this much, then he pointed with his index and middle
fingers. To our knowledge, by that he meant embroidery.

after he had got up from his sleep. He said, "Nobody says: 'None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah' and then later on he dies while believing in that, except that he will enter Paradise."
I said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?" He said. 'Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft."
I said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?" He said. 'Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft."
I said, 'Even it he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?' He said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft, inspite of the Abu Dharr's dislike. Abu `Abdullah said, "This is at the time of death or before it if one repents and regrets and says "None has the right to
be worshipped but Allah. He will be forgiven his sins."
