Sahih al-Bukhari 5879 (Book 77, Hadith 96) #5640
Passing Down of the Prophet's Ring

SUMMARY: The Prophet's ring was passed down to Abu Bakr, Umar and then Uthman who dropped it in a well. Despite searching for three days, the ring was not found.

Anas added: The ring of the Prophet was in his hand, and after him, in Abu Bakr's hand, and then in 'Umar's hand after Abu Bakr. When 'Uthman was the Caliph, once he was sitting at the well of Aris. He removed the ring from his hand and while he was trifling with it, dropped into the well. We kept on going to the well with 'Uthman for three days looking for the ring, and finally the well was drained, but the ring was not found.
وَزَادَنِي أَحْمَدُ حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّ فِي يَدِهِ، وَفِي يَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بَعْدَهُ، وَفِي يَدِ عُمَرَ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ جَلَسَ عَلَى بِئْرِ أَرِيسَ ـ قَالَ ـ فَأَخْرَجَ الْخَاتَمَ، فَجَعَلَ يَعْبَثُ بِهِ فَسَقَطَ قَالَ فَاخْتَلَفْنَا ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ فَنَنْزَحُ الْبِئْرَ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the passing down of the Prophet's ring from him to his successors. It is narrated by Anas ibn Malik that after the death of the prophet, his ring was passed on to Abu Bakr and then to 'Umar. When 'Uthman became Caliph, he was sitting at a well called Aris when he accidentally dropped his ring into it. They searched for three days but were unable to find it despite draining out all of its water. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful with our possessions and not take them for granted as they can be lost easily due to carelessness or negligence. It also shows us how important it is to pass on our legacy from one generation to another so that we can remember our past and learn from it in order to build a better future for ourselves and those around us.
