692. Humaid said: "Anas bin Mâlik was asked: 'Did the Prophet ﷺ wear a ring?' He said: 'Yes.' One night he delayed the 'Ishâ' prayer until almost the middle of the night. When he had prayed he turned to face us and said: 'The people have prayed and gone to sleep, but you will still be in a state of prayer so long as you are waiting for the (next) prayer.'" (Sahih) Anas said: "It is as if I can see the sparkle from his ring."
692 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ هَلِ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ، إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَنَامُوا، وَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ: كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ

The Prophet ﷺ mostly performed the 'Ishâ' prayer early, which means not delaying it unduly. However, at times he departed from the normal practice in order to highlight the merit of delaying it. Religious speech can be delivered after the congregational prayer. Sitting in wait for the prayers is a meritorious act. It is permissible to wear a ring. Men can, however, wear only silver. Use of gold is prohibited for men (Sunan Ibn Mâjah: 3595).
