“Does one of you deliberately take a live coal from the Fire and place it in his hand?” 1.
After the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—had gone, the people said to the man, “Pick up your ring and benefit from it.” He replied, “No, by Allah! I will never take it back after the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—has thrown it away.” 1.
Third: Abu Thaʿlabah al-Khushani relates that the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—noticed a gold ring on his hand and began tapping it with a small staff he was holding.

A marfu report from Abu Hurayra states: “Allah has cursed the one who wears it.” Al-Thaqafi transmits this in al-Thaqafiyyat, vol. 6, no. 36 (my manuscript copy), but its chain contains Sayf ibn Miskin, who is considered unreliable.

ثالثا: عن أبي ثعلبة الخشني أن النبي ﷺ أبصر في يده خاتما من ذهب فجعل يقرعه بقضيب معه فلما غفل النبي ﷺ ألقاه [فنظر النبي ﷺ فلم يره في يده فـ]
١ رواه مسلم ٦/١٤٩ وابن حبان في "صحيحه" ١/١٥٠ والطبراني ٣/١٥٠/١ – ٢ وابن الديباجي في "الفوائد المنتقاة" ٢/٨٠/١ – ٢.
والحديث نص في تحريم خاتم الذهب فما سيأتي عن أحمد ﵀ أنه يكره فمحمول على كراهة التحريم. انظر كلامه في ذلك التعليق على الحديث الرابع في هذا الفصل "ص ٢١٩".
وقد روي عن أبي هريرة مرفوعا: "لعن الله لابسه" رواه الثقفي في "الثقفيات" ج ٦ رقم ٣٦ – منسوختي لكن في سنده سيف بن مسكين وهو متهم.
