Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب اللباس باب ما جاء فى الخاتم الحديد
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ وَأَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ يَحْيَى بْنُ وَاضِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ مَا لِى أَرَى عَلَيْكَ حِلْيَةَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ. ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ صُفْرٍ فَقَالَ مَا لِى أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ الأَصْنَامِ. ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ مَالِى أَرَى عَلَيْكَ حِلْيَةَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ. قَالَ مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ أَتَّخِذُهُ قَالَ مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَلاَ تُتِمَّهُ مِثْقَالاً. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو. وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ يُكْنَى أَبَا طَيْبَةَ وَهُوَ مَرْوَزِىٌّ.
A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, wearing an iron ring, so he (the Prophet) said, "Why do I see you wearing the ornament of the people of the Fire? (1)" He then came wearing a copper ring, so the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, asked, "Why is the smell of idols emanating from you? (2)" Then he came wearing a gold ring, so the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him asked, "Why do I see you wearing the adornment of the people of Paradise? (3)". The man (then) asked, "What should it be made of?" He replied, "Silver, but less than a mithqāl (4) (5)". Footnotes: (1) Referring to the iron rings that the disbelievers used to wear, or to the chains of the people of the Fire that are also made of iron. (2) As idols were generally made from copper. (3) Men are not permitted to wear gold, but it will be permissible for them in Paradise. (4) Mithqāl: A unit of weight, usually used to measure gold, equivalent to 4.6 grams or 4.2 grams, but it is generally considered equivalent to 5 grams for simplicity. (5) Most scholars find wearing a silver ring that weighs more than a mithqāl permissible for men based on other evidence. Click on ḥadīth to read more
