5167. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ started to wear a gold ring, and the people started to wear gold rings. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I was wearing this ring, but I will never wear it again.' He threw it away and the people threw their rings away." (Sahih)
5164 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: اتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمَ الذَّهَبِ، فَلَبِسَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَ الذَّهَبِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَلْبَسُ هَذَا الْخَاتَمَ، وَإِنِّي لَنْ أَلْبَسَهُ أَبَدًا»، فَنَبَذَهُ، فَنَبَذَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَهُمْ

1. Allâh's Messenger ﷺ had not worn the gold signet-ring for adornment. But he had it made for sealing. That is why he wore it with the stone turned inward toward palm, whereas those who wear it for adornment keep the stone outside on the back of the hand. 2. 'I shall never wear it again': So to say, the permissibility was abrogated. In the forthcoming narrations, there is clarification regarding its unlawfulness. 3. 'So the people threw their rings away': Following the Messenger ﷺ. 4. Other narrations explain that Allâh's Messenger ﷺ then got a silver ring fashioned so that he could seal letters and ordinances or commands with it.
