أَخْبَرَنِي الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَی عَلَيْهَا مَسَکَتَيْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُکِ بِمَا هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا لَوْ نَزَعْتِ هَذَا وَجَعَلْتِ مَسَکَتَيْنِ مِنْ وَرِقٍ ثُمَّ صَفَّرْتِهِمَا بِزَعْفَرَانٍ کَانَتَا حَسَنَتَيْنِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5158
It was narrated from ‘ishah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم saw her wearing two bracelets of gold. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Shall I not tell you of something that is better than this? Why don’t you take these off and wear two bracelets of silver, and paint them yellow with saffron, and they will look fine.” (Da’if) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: This is not preserved, and Allah knows best.
