It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a gold ring made, and he would turn its stone towards the palm of his hand. The people also had rings made, upon which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw it away, and the people also removed and threw away their rings. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a silver ring made, with which he would seal (letters), but he did not wear it.
