Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1022

Translation

✧ From Abū Saʿīd, who said: A man from al-Baḥrayn came to the Prophet ﷺ and greeted him, but he did not return the greeting. The man had a gold ring on his hand and was wearing a silk robe. The man went away grieving and complained to his wife. She said, 'Perhaps it is because of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and your robe and your ring. Throw them away and go back.' He did so, and the Prophet returned the greeting. The man said, 'I came to you a short while ago and you turned away from me?' He said, 'There was a live coal from the Fire in your hand.' The man said, 'Then I have surely brought many coals.' He said, 'What you brought is not even as useful to us as the stones of al-Ḥarra, but it is the stuff of the life of this world.' The man asked, 'With what should I wear a ring then?' He said, 'With a band of silver, brass, or iron.'
