It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: I was sitting with the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when a woman came and said: O Messenger of Allah! Is it permissible to make a necklace of gold? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: That would be a necklace of fire. She said: O Messenger of Allah! Is it permissible to wear two gold bangles? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Those would be two bangles of fire. She said: Are two gold earrings permissible? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Those would be two earrings of fire. She was wearing a gold bangle; upon hearing this, she threw it away and said: O Messenger of Allah! If any of us does not adorn herself for her husband, her value and importance decrease in his eyes. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: What prevents you from having two silver earrings made and coloring them with saffron?

Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever adorns himself with even a small amount of gold will be branded with it on the Day of Resurrection.

Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I was wearing a gold chain around my neck when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and turned his face away from me. I said: Do you not see my adornment? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is from your adornment that I am turning away. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There will be no harm for you if you have a ring or bracelet made of silver and color it with saffron.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I wore a necklace, in which there were strands of gold. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away after seeing it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What has made you feel secure from the fact that Allah Almighty may make you wear strands of fire in its place? She says: So I took it off.

Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the freed slave of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: The daughter of Hubayrah entered upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and in her hand were large gold rings. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck her hand with a stick and said: Do you like that Allah should put rings of fire on your hand? Then Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: She came to me and complained about what the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had done to her. I went with her to the house of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (The narrator, Thawban, may Allah be pleased with him, says:) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood behind the door, and whenever he sought permission, he would stand behind the door. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to the daughter of Hubayrah: Look at this chain, Abu al-Hasan Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave it to me. She had put a gold chain on her hand. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered and said: O Fatimah! Act justly. People will say that Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, is wearing a chain of fire on her hand. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke harshly to me and did not even sit down, and left. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) ordered that the chain be sold, and with its price a slave was bought and set free. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he said Allahu Akbar and said: All praise is due to Allah who saved Fatimah from the fire.

It is narrated from Umm Karam, she says: I performed Hajj, and I met a woman who had a large number of servants. All the women assigned to serve her were wearing silver jewelry. I asked: What is the reason that every one of your servants is wearing silver jewelry? She said: My grandfather was with the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and I was with him as well. I was wearing two gold earrings. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: These are two coals of fire. Since then, every member of our household wears only silver jewelry.

Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered the Muslim women for the pledge of allegiance. Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him: O Messenger of Allah! Please extend your blessed hand so that we may pledge allegiance. But the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not shake hands with women; I take their pledge without shaking hands. Among those women was her maternal aunt, who was wearing two gold bangles and two rings. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: O such-and-such woman! Would you like that on the Day of Resurrection Allah gives you bangles and rings of fire from Hell as adornment? She said: O Prophet of Allah! I seek refuge with Allah from that. Sayyida Asma says: I said: O aunt! Throw away what you are wearing, so she threw them away. Later, Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O my dear son! That woman had thrown away that jewelry, but I do not know who picked it up from that place, and none of us even looked back at it. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! If we do not adorn ourselves at all, our value decreases in the eyes of our husbands, so with what should we adorn ourselves, O Messenger of Allah? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no harm for you in having earrings made of silver and adorning yourselves with silver beads, and you may color them with saffron; it will shine just like gold.

Sayyidah Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in order to pledge allegiance to him. When I approached, I was wearing two gold bangles. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), seeing their shine, said: "Remove these bangles, O Asma! Do you not fear that Allah Almighty may make you wear bangles of fire in exchange for them?" I took them off and threw them away, and I did not even know who picked them up.

It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that she used to serve the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She says: Once I was with him when my maternal aunt came and began to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) questions. She was wearing two gold bangles. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Do you like that two bangles of fire be put on you?" I said to my aunt: "That is, your two bangles will become of fire." She took them off and threw them away, and said: "Then if women do not adorn themselves, they do not remain attractive to their husbands." O Prophet of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said: "Can you not make a necklace of silver, or a necklace made of pearls prepared from silver, then dye it with saffron? It will become like gold. Remember, whoever adorns herself with gold equal to the weight of a locust, or even wears a small amount of gold, will be branded with it on the Day of Resurrection."

Sayyidah Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Any woman who wears a gold necklace, on the Day of Resurrection a similar necklace of fire will be put around her neck, and any woman who puts a gold earring in her ear, on the Day of Resurrection a similar fire of Hell will be put in her ear.
