حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَکْتُبَ إِلَی الرُّومِ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَقْرَئُوا کِتَابَکَ إِذَا لَمْ يَکُنْ مَخْتُومًا فَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَنَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَکَأَنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَی بَيَاضِهِ فِي يَدِهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 5876
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet had a golden ring made for himself, and when he wore it. he used to turn its stone toward the palm of his! hand. So the people too had gold made for themselves. The Prophet then ascended the pulpit, and after glorifying and praising Allah, he said, "I had it made for me, but now I will never wear it again." He threw it away, and then the people threw away their rings too. (Juwairiya, a subnarrator, said: I think Anas said that the Prophet was wearing the ring in his right hand.)
