It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wear a ring of gold. One day, he stood up and threw it away and said: "I will never wear it again." The people also threw away their rings.

Sadaqah bin Yasar asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib about wearing a ring. He said: Wear it! And tell people that I have told you to wear it.
