ahmad:22336ʿAlī b. ʿĀṣim > Ḥuṣayn > Sālim b. Abū al-Jaʿd > a man from Qawmih

[Machine] 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."  

أحمد:٢٢٣٣٦حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ قَالَ

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
