Its chain is authentic according to the criteria of al-Bukhārī and Muslim. Al-Tabarānī also narrated it in al-Mu‘jam al-Kabīr.

80 — (The Prophet saw a gold ring on a man’s hand, so he removed it, cast it aside, and said:

“One of you deliberately takes an ember of fire and places it on his hand!”

After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had left, the man was told, “Take your ring and make use of it.” He replied, “No, by Allah! I will not take it after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cast it aside.” Narrated by Muslim.) p. 81

Authentic. Muslim (6/149) and others narrated it from Ibn ‘Abbās—may Allah be pleased with him. Its sources are documented in Ādāb al-Zifāf (p. 133).

81 — (Al-Bukhārī narrated from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a ring made of wariq (silver). It was on his hand, then afterward on the hand of Abū Bakr, then on the hand of ‘Umar, and then on the hand of ‘Uthmān, until it later fell into the Well of Arīs. Al-Bukhārī, in the Book of Dress.) p. 81.

Authentic. It was narrated by al-Bukhārī (4/90, 93), as well as Muslim (6/150), Abū Dāwūd (4218), Ahmad (2/22, 141), and al-Humaydī in his Musnad (675). They added at the end: “Its inscription read: Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah.”

82 — (In Sahīh al-Bukhārī, the Messenger said to the man who wished to marry the woman who had offered herself: “Look for something, even if only an iron ring.”) p. 81

Authentic. The other compilers of the Sunan and others also narrated it, and I have documented its sources in al-Irwāʾ (1925).
