أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا فَلَبِسَهُ قَالَ شَغَلَنِي هَذَا عَنْکُمْ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمَ إِلَيْهِ نَظْرَةٌ وَإِلَيْکُمْ نَظْرَةٌ ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5304
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم took a ring and put it on, then he said: “This distracted me from you all day, shifting my gaze from it to you (and back again).” Then he threw it away. (Sahih)
