4225. It was narrated from 'Āšim bin Kulaib, from Abū Burdah, from 'Alī, he said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Say: "Allāhumm aihdinī wa saddidnī (O Allāh, guide me and set me straight)," and when you ask Allāh to guide you, think of the right path, and when you ask Him to set you straight, think of the way you aim your arrow.'" He said: "And he told me not to put a ring on this or this – the forefinger and middle finger; 'Āšim was not sure – "and he told me not to use Al-Qassiyyah or Al-Mītharah."[1] (Šahih) Abū Burdah said: "We said to 'Alī: 'What is Al-Qassiyyah?' He said: 'Striped cloth that came to us from Ash-Shām or Egypt.' He said: 'And Al-Mītharah was a saddle cloth that women used to make for their husbands.'" [1] See number 4044 and 4051.
