It is also narrated by al-Nasai, 2:285, and Ahmad, 2:440. The chain contains Abu Zayd, who is majhul (unknown) according to Taqrib al-tahdhib; he alone mentions the two earrings, which makes the report munkar (anomalous). Even if it were sound, it would still constitute explicit evidence for the prohibition of gold earrings as well. Yet the wording shared by all the versions—his ﷺ remark, “What would it hurt any of you to make a khurs of warq (silver) …” — already points to prohibition, or at least to an exhortation that earrings be made of silver. An explicit ruling appears in the hadith of Asma bint Yazid: “Any woman who adorns herself—that is, with a gold necklace—Allah will place a like necklace of fire around her neck; and any woman who puts a gold khurs in her ear, Allah will place a like khurs of fire in her ear on the Day of Resurrection.” Reported by Abu Dawud, 2:199; al-Nasai, 2:284; al-Bayhaqi, 4:141; and Ibn Rahwayh in his Musnad, 4:262/1, through the route of Mahmud b. Amr from her. Mahmud, however, is of unknown status, as al-Dhahabi observes; if corroboration is found, the proof is established—especially since Hafiz al-Mundhiri affirms in al-Targhib, 1:273, that its isnad is sound.
