It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man wearing a gold ring on his hand, so he said to him, "Why are you wearing the adornment of the people of Paradise in this world?" The next time he came, he was wearing a brass ring. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I smell the scent of idol-worshippers from you." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Then from what should I make a ring?" He replied, "From silver."
