I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and I was wearing a gold ring. He took a newspaper and struck my hand with it and said, "Throw it away." So, I went out and threw it away. Then, I returned to him and he asked, "What happened to the ring?" I said, "I threw it away." He said, "I only commanded you to enjoy it, not to throw it away."

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعَلَيَّ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَأَخَذَ جَرِيدَةً فَضَرَبَ بِهَا كَفِّي وَقَالَ: «اطْرَحْهُ»، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَطَرَحْتُهُ، ثُمَّ عُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا فَعَلَ الْخَاتَمُ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ: طَرَحْتُهُ، قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تَسْتَمْتِعَ بِهِ وَلَا تَطْرَحَهُ».
