1785. 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah narrated from his father who said: "A man wearing an iron ring came to the Prophet ﷺ. So he said to him: 'What is this I see on you, jewelry of the people of the Fire?' Then he came wearing a ring of brass. So he said: 'What is this smell of idols I sense on you?' Then he came wearing a ring of gold. So he said to him: 'What is this jewelry of the people of Paradise I see on you?' So he said: 'What should I use then?' He said: 'From silver, but not its entire weight.'"[1] (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb [and there are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr], and 'Abdullāh bin Muslim's Kunyah is Abū Taibah, and he is from Al-Marwaz.

Commentary
Iron was the metal, of which the idolaters of Makkah made their rings, and iron is what their chains and girdles shall be made of in Hell. Their idols were from copper and brass. That is why it is not proper to wear rings made from these metals.
