English translation
[5471] (...) Shu'bah narrated it with this chain narrators. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Abbâs that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saw a gold ring on a man's hand. He took it off and threw it aside, and said: "Would one of you go and pick up a live ember of fire and hold it in his hand?" After the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had left, it was said to the man: "Take your ring and benefit from it (by selling it)." He said: "No, by Allâh, I will never pick it up when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has thrown it aside." It was narrated from 'Abdullâh that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had a ring made of gold, and he used to put its Faṣṣ (stone or engraving) against his palm when he wore it, and the people did likewise. Then he sat on the Minbar and took it off, and said: "I used to wear this ring and put its Faṣṣ next to my palm." Then he threw it away and said: "By Allâh, I will never wear it again." And the people threw away their rings too.
