Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ وَاضِحٍ وَهُوَ أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي يَدِ رَجُلٍ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ وَلِحُلِيِّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ وَقَدْ لَبِسَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ صُفْرٍ فَقَالَ أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ أَهْلِ الْأَصْنَامِ قَالَ فَمِمَّ أَتَّخِذُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Wadih, that is Abu Tumaylah, told us, from Abdullah ibn Muslim, from Abdullah ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a gold ring on a man's hand and said: What business do you have with the ornament of the people of Paradise? The man then came having put on a ring of brass, so he said: I detect from you the smell of the idol-worshippers. He said: From what should I make it, O Messenger of Allah? He said: From silver.
