Sunan Nasai 5291 — Discarding a Ring and Not Wearing it Anymore
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا فَلَبِسَهُ ، قَالَ : " شَغَلَنِي هَذَا عَنْكُمْ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمَ إِلَيْهِ نَظْرَةٌ ، وَإِلَيْكُمْ نَظْرَةٌ " ، ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهُ .
´It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that :` The Messenger of Allah [SAW] took a ring and put it on, then he said: "This distracted me from you all day, shifting my gaze from it to you (and back again)." Then he threw it away.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It appears that this was a gold ring, which has also been mentioned above. Due to its beauty, your attention was repeatedly drawn towards it, so you deemed it inappropriate to continue wearing it. From this, it is understood that one should not wear a ring solely for adornment.
