In former times it had been the custom to wear ornamented garments, and men received robes as tokens of honour from kings' courts. Figures and devices were painted and displayed on saddles, bridles, and collars, on censers, on goblets and cups, and flagons, on dishes and ewers, in tents, on curtains and on chairs, and upon all articles and utensils. Under Divine guidance and favour I ordered all pictures and portraits to be removed from these things, and that such articles only should be made as are approved and recognized by the Law. Those pictures and portraits which were painted on the doors and walls of palaces I ordered to be effaced. 16. Formerly the garments of great men were generally made of silk and gold brocades, beautiful but unlawful. Under Divine guidance I ordered that such garments should be worn as are approved by the Law of the Prophet, and that choice should be made of such trimmings of gold brocade, embroidery, or braiding as did not exceed four inches in breadth. Whatever was unlawful and forbidden by, or opposed to, the Law was set aside. - [Previous: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.12) - [Next: 1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.14) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.13) · Pramāṇa
