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 جَائَ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَی عَلَيْکَ حِلْيَةَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَطَرَحَهُ ثُمَّ جَائَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ شَبَهٍ فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَجِدُ مِنْکَ رِيحَ الْأَصْنَامِ فَطَرَحَهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْئٍ أَتَّخِذُهُ قَالَ مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَلَا تُتِمَّهُ مِثْقَالًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5210
‘Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated from his father that a man came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, what should I use?” He said: “Silver, but it should not equal a Mithqal.” (Hasan)
