'Ali said: "The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to me: 'O 'Ali, ask Allah for guidance and steadfastness,' and he forbade me from placing a ring on this one and this one' - and he pointed to his forefinger and middle finger.
لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عَلِيُّ سَلِ اللَّهَ الْهُدَى وَالسَّدَادَ وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَجْعَلَ الْخَاتَمَ فِي هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ يَعْنِي بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى
"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade me to wear a ring on this one and this one," meaning the forefinger and middle finger. And this is the wording of Ibn Al-Muthanna.
نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَاتَمِ فِي هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ يَعْنِي السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى
"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to me: 'Say: O Allah, guide me and make me steadfast,' and he forbade me to put a ring on this one and this one" - and Bishr (one of the narrators) pointed to his forefinger and middle finger. And 'Asim said: "One of the two of them."
لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي وَسَدِّدْنِي وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَضَعَ الْخَاتَمَ فِي هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِشْرٌ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى قَالَ وَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ أَحَدُهُمَا
