[Machine] I saw on Al-Bara' a gold ring, and people were asking him, "Why do you wear a gold ring when the Prophet ﷺ forbade it?" Al-Bara' replied, "While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, there was a war booty in front of him, which included camels and sheep. He distributed everything until only this ring remained. He lifted one end of the ring and looked at his companions, then lowered it, then raised it again and looked at them, repeating this action several times. Then he said, 'Oh Bara', I came to him and sat in front of him. He took the ring and reached out his hand towards my finger, and said, 'Wear it, let it be a sign that Allah and His Messenger have clothed you.' Al-Bara' used to say, 'How can you ask me to remove what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me to wear, let it be a sign that Allah and His Messenger have clothed you?'"  

رَأَيْتُ عَلَى الْبَرَاءِ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ لَهُ لِمَ تَخَتَّمُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْبَرَاءُ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ غَنِيمَةٌ يَقْسِمُهَا سَبْيٌ وَخُرْثِيٌّ قَالَ فَقَسَمَهَا حَتَّى بَقِيَ هَذَا الْخَاتَمُ فَرَفَعَ طَرْفَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ خَفَّضَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ طَرْفَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ خَفَّضَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ طَرْفَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْ بَرَاءُ فَجِئْتُهُ حَتَّى قَعَدْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ الْخَاتَمَ فَقَبَضَ عَلَى كُرْسُوعِي ثُمَّ قَالَ خُذِ الْبَسْ مَا كَسَاكَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ الْبَرَاءُ يَقُولُ كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُونِي أَنْ أَضَعَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَسْ مَا كَسَاكَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ؟
