5198. ‘Abdullâh bin Buraidah narrated from his father that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and he was wearing an iron ring. He said: “Why do I see you wearing the jewelry of the people of Hell?” He threw it away, then he came and he was wearing a brass ring. He said: “Why do I notice the stench of idols from you?” So he threw it away, and said: “O Messenger of Allâh, what should I use?” He said: “Silver, but it should not equal a Mithqâl.” (Hasan)

Arabic text

5195 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، مِنْ أَهْلِ مَرْوَ أَبُو طَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ: «مَا لِي أَرَى عَلَيْكَ حِلْيَةَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ» فَطَرَحَهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ شَبَهٍ فَقَالَ: «مَا لِي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ الْأَصْنَامِ» فَطَرَحَهُ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَتَّخِذُهُ؟ قَالَ: «مِنْ وَرِقٍ، وَلَا تُتِمَّهُ مِثْقَالًا»

Commentary

1. ‘The ornament of the inhabitants of the Fire (of Hell)’: Because it is with such a thing that they will be shackled. This is the view of some scholars, see also numbers 5208 and 5209, and their chapters. 2. ‘Why do I notice the stench of idols (asnâm) from you?’: Because idols were generally fashioned out of brass in that period of time. 3. ‘Keep it less than one Mithqâl’: A Mithqâl equals 4.235 grams, a little over four grams. Hence, the silver ring too ought to be no more than that weight.
