Sunan an-Nasai 5206 (Book 48, Hadith 167) #19738
Wealthy Appearances are Temporary Conveniences

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who came to the Prophet (SAW) wearing a gold ring and silken jubbah. The Prophet (SAW) did not return his greeting until he removed them, then he returned his greeting and advised him to use an iron, silver or brass ring instead.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri: "A man came from Al-Bahrain to the Prophet SAW and greeted him with Salam, but he did not return his greeting. He was wearing a gold ring on his hand, and was wearing a silken Jubbah. He took them off, then he greeted him with Salam, and he returned his greeting. Then he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I came to you just now, and you turned away from me'. He said: 'You had a coal of fire on your hand'. He said: 'Then I have brought many coals'. He said: 'What you have brought with you is no better for us than the stones of Al-Harrah, but it is a temporary convenience of this world'. He said: 'What should I use for a ring?' He said: 'A ring of iron or silver or brass'."
أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، - مِنْ أَهْلِ ثَغْرٍ ثِقَةٌ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّجِيبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَجُبَّةُ حَرِيرٍ فَأَلْقَاهُمَا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَيْتُكَ آنِفًا فَأَعْرَضْتَ عَنِّي ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي يَدِكَ جَمْرَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ لَقَدْ جِئْتُ إِذًا بِجَمْرٍ كَثِيرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ لَيْسَ بِأَجْزَأَ عَنَّا مِنْ حِجَارَةِ الْحَرَّةِ وَلَكِنَّهُ مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَاذَا أَتَخَتَّمُ قَالَ ‏"‏ حَلْقَةً مِنْ حَدِيدٍ أَوْ وَرِقٍ أَوْ صُفْرٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Greet people with salam regardless of their appearance or wealth; Treat everyone equally with respect and kindness; Focus on spiritual development instead of materialistic pursuits

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that wealth should not be displayed in our appearance. It is only a temporary convenience of this world and should not be used as an indicator of status or superiority. Instead, the Prophet Muhammad advised us to use rings made from iron, silver or brass as these materials are more humble and modest than gold. This hadith also teaches us that we should always greet people with salam regardless of their appearance or wealth; it is important to treat everyone equally with respect and kindness. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that worldly possessions are fleeting; they will eventually fade away so we must focus on our spiritual development instead of materialistic pursuits if we want true success in life.
