Sunan an-Nasai 5293 (Book 48, Hadith 254) #19825
The Silver Ring of the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) wore a gold ring and then threw it away, replacing it with a silver one. This silver ring was passed down from the Prophet to Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman until it was lost in the well of Aris.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that: The Messenger of Allah SAW put on a ring of gold and he used to wear its stone (Fass) next to his palm. Then the people started to wear rings too. Then the Messenger of Allah SAW threw it away and said: "I will never wear it again". Then the Messenger of Allah SAW took a ring of silver, and wore it on his hand. Then it was on the hand of Abu Bakr, then on the hand of 'Umar, then on the hand of 'Uthman, until it was lost in the well of Aris.
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ اتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَجَعَلَ فَصَّهُ مِمَّا يَلِي بَطْنَ كَفِّهِ فَاتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ الْخَوَاتِيمَ فَأَلْقَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ أَلْبَسُهُ أَبَدًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ فَأَدْخَلَهُ فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ عُمَرَ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ عُثْمَانَ حَتَّى هَلَكَ فِي بِئْرِ أَرِيسٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about how the Prophet Muhammad used to wear a gold ring with its stone next to his palm. However, when people started wearing rings too, he decided to throw away his gold one and replace it with a silver one instead. This silver ring was then passed down from him to Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman until it was eventually lost in the well of Aris. From this hadith we learn that we should not follow others blindly just because they are doing something; rather we should think for ourselves and make sure that our actions are pleasing to Allah SWT first before anything else. We also learn that even though material possessions may be important for some people, they should never take precedence over our faith or our relationship with Allah SWT.
