5294. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ put on a ring of gold, and he used to wear its stone (Faṣṣ) next to his palm. Then the people started to wear rings of gold too. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ threw it away, and the people threw their rings away too. Then he took a ring of silver and he used to seal letters with it, but he did not wear it. (Hasan)
5292 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَكَانَ جَعَلَ فَصَّهُ فِي بَاطِنِ كَفِّهِ، فَاتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَطَرَحَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَطَرَحَ النَّاسُ خَوَاتِيمَهُمْ، وَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَكَانَ يَخْتِمُ بِهِ وَلَا يَلْبَسُهُ»

'Did not wear it' means he did not wear it all the time. He rather wore it when needed. We learn from this that it is not appropriate for men to wear a ring merely for adornment.
