303 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْخَلَاءَ وَضَعَ خَاتَمَهُ»

Commentary
The Hadith is not only weak but Munkar (Denounced) as well. An authentic Hadith has only this; that the Prophet ﷺ had a silver ring made for himself, but later on he took it off. (See Sunan Abu Dā'ud, 19). We cannot, therefore, say for sure as to whether or not the Prophet ﷺ used to take off his ring while entering the toilet. Anyhow, etiquette demands that a ring or a book with Allāh's Name inscribed or written in it must not be taken inside the lavatory.
