When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to write to the Byzantines, it was said to him, "Those people do not
read your letter unless it is stamped." So the Prophet (ﷺ) took a silver ring and got 'Muhammad, the
Apostle of Allah' engraved on it .... as if I am now looking at its glitter in his hand.

The Prophet (ﷺ) had a golden ring made for himself, and when he wore it. he used to turn its stone toward
the palm of his! hand. So the people too had gold made for themselves. The Prophet (ﷺ) then ascended
the pulpit, and after glorifying and praising Allah, he said, "I had it made for me, but now I will never
wear it again." He threw it away, and then the people threw away their rings too. (Juwairiya, a subnarrator,
said: I think Anas said that the Prophet (ﷺ) was wearing the ring in his right hand.)
