The Prophet (ﷺ) wore a gold ring and then the people followed him and wore gold rings too. Then the
Prophet said, "I had this golden ring made for myself. He then threw it away and said, "I shall never
put it on." Thereupon the people also threw their rings away.

I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) at one of the farms of Medina while he was leaning on a date palm leaf-stalk.
He passed by a group of Jews and some of them said to the other, Ask him (the Prophet) about the
spirit. Some others said, "Do not ask him, lest he should tell you what you dislike" But they went up
to him and said, "O Abal Qasim! Inform us bout the spirit." The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up for a while, waiting.
I realized that he was being Divinely Inspired, so I kept away from him till the inspiration was over.
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(O Muhammad) they ask you regarding the spirit, Say: The spirit its
knowledge is with my Lord (i.e., nobody has its knowledge except Allah)" (17.85) (This is a miracle
of the Quran that all the scientists up till now do not know about the spirit, i.e, how life comes to a
body and how it goes away at its death) (See Hadith No. 245, Vol. 6)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to his companions), "Do not fast Al-Wisal." They said, "But you fast Al-Wisail."
He said, "I am not like you, for at night my Lord feeds me and makes me drink." But the people did
not give up Al-Wisal, so the Prophet (ﷺ) fasted Al-Wisal with them for two days or two nights, and then
they saw the crescent whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If the crescent had delayed, I would have
continued fasting (because of you)," as if he wanted to vanquish them completely (because they had
refused to give up Al Wisal).
