Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and he was wearing a signet-ring of yellow copper. He said to him: How is it that I notice the odour of idols in you? So he threw it away, and came wearing an iron signet ring. He (the Prophet) said: What is it that I see you wearing the adornment of the inhabitants of Hell? So he threw it away. He asked: Messenger of Allah, what material I must use? He said: Make it of silver, but do not weigh it as much as a mithqal, The narrator Muhammad did not say: " Abdullah bin Muslim, " and al-Hasan did not say: "al-Sulami al-Marwazi. "

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The statement of the book’s verifier declaring the chain of this narration as hasan is questionable, because in its chain, Abdullah bin Muslim is, according to the preferred opinion, weak, and no one has followed him up (in narration). For details, see: (Dhakheerat al-‘Uqba Sharh Sunan al-Nasa’i: 38/283). However, the phrase in this narration that describes the iron ring as the adornment of the people of Hell is established by other authentic ahadith. For details, see the benefits of hadith: 5208.
