“Najashi sent some jewelry as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Among that was a gold ring with an Ethiopian gemstone. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ picked it up with a stick – as if he found it distasteful – or with one of his fingers, then he called for his daughter, Umamah bint Abul-‘As, and said: ‘Wear this, O my daughter.’”
