Musnad Ahmad 1168 (Book 5, Hadith 580) #34806
Seeking Guidance from Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about asking Allah for guidance and proper aim, and also forbids wearing certain garments and using certain items.

It was narrated that 'Asim bin Kulaib said: I heard Abu Burdah say: I heard 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah said: 'Say: O Allah, I ask You for guidance and proper aim. When you ask for guidance, think of directions when travelling, and when you ask for proper aim, think of aiming an arrow". And he forbade - or forbade me - to wear garments made from a blend of linen and silk, to use red saddle cloths, or to wear a ring on the forefinger or middle finger.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالسَّدَادَ وَاذْكُرْ بِالْهُدَى هِدَايَتَكَ الطَّرِيقَ وَاذْكُرْ بِالسَّدَادِ تَسْدِيدَكَ السَّهْمَ قَالَ وَنَهَى أَوْ نَهَانِي عَنْ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ وَعَنْ الْخَاتَمِ فِي السَّبَّابَةِ أَوْ الْوُسْطَى‏.‏
