It is unlawful for you to carry arms except in time of necessity. The wearing of silk is made permissible for you. [note 1] God has lifted from you the commandment restricting clothing and beards, as a favour from Him. He is, indeed, the Knower, the Commander. Do what the upright minds do not disapprove of and do not make yourselves the plaything (laughing-stock) of the ignorant. Blessed is the one who is adorned with the garment of good breeding and conduct! He is among those who help the Lord with clear and evident action.
