And it was narrated from Hudhayfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited us from wearing silk or Dibaj and from drinking out of gold and silver vessels and said, "These are meant for them (non- Muslims) in this world and for you in the Hereafter." إن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نهانا عن الحرير، والديباج، والشرب في آنية الذهب والفضة، وقال : هُن لهم في الدنيا وهي لكم في الآخرة

And it was narrated from Anas ibn Sirin that he said:
I was with Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) in the company of some Magians when Faludhaj (a sweet made of flour and honey) was brought in a silver utensil, and Anas did not take it. The man was told to change the utensil. So he changed the utensil and when he brought it to Anas, he took it. كنت مع أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه عند نفر من المجوس، فجيء بفالوذج على إناء من فضة، فلم يأكله، فقيل له حوله، فحوله على إناء من خلنج، وجيء به فأكله
Riyad as-Salihin 1797

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
These two chapters were mentioned by the author (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book *Riyad al-Salihin:
The first: On the prohibition of traveling with the mushaf to the lands of the enemy:
This means that it is not permissible for a person to travel with the mushaf to the lands of the disbelievers, because there is a fear that it will fall into their hands and they will belittle it and humiliate it. The Qur'an is more noble and greater than being in the hands of the enemy. For this reason, 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) mentioned:
Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade breathing into the vessel while drinking. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] . أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نهى أن يسافر بالمصحف إلى أرض العدو
Riyad as-Salihin 758
,
And this is as the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, if there is a fear for it. But if there is no fear for it, as is the case in our present time, there is no harm. It is permissible for a person who travels for trade or study in a land of the disbelievers to take the mushaf with him, and there is no blame on him.
