bayhaqi:7568Abū al-Ḥusayn b. al-Faḍl al-Qaṭṭān > Abū Sahl b. Ziyād al-Qaṭṭān > Saʿīd b. ʿUthmān al-Ahwāzī > Abū Bakr b. Khallād > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Mahdī > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit > Anas

[Machine] The Prophet's ﷺ ring was on his right hand and he pointed to his pinky finger on his left hand. The sheikh said, "It is likely that this narration is more correct than the narration of Al-Zuhri from Anas about the ring that he made from paper, as Al-Zuhri narrated from Anas that he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a ring made of paper for one day. Then people started making paper rings and wearing them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ threw his ring and then the people threw their rings. It is also likely that the mention of paper in this story is a mistaken understanding that Al-Zuhri had, so it was attributed to him as a misconception. What he actually threw was his gold ring, and then he later got a ring made of paper. The narration of Ibn Umar indicates that the one he put on his right hand was his gold ring, then he threw it, so it is possible that the mistake is in the narration of Yunus from Al-Zuhri from Anas and it is said that Anas ibn Malik only mentioned the right hand in which he placed the gold ring, as Abdullah ibn Umar clarified. Al-Zuhri's narration preceded the mention of paper, and the misunderstanding occurred in the narration of who narrated from Al-Zuhri, mentioning the right hand in paper. Allah knows best. Sulaiman ibn Bilal narrated from Ja'far ibn Muhammad from his father, which indicates the authenticity of this combination, that the one he put on his right hand was his gold ring and the one he put on his left hand was his silver ring. Allah knows best.
