الثامن: عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما
أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى خاتمًا من ذهب في يد رجل، فنزعه فطرحه وقال: «يعمد أحدكم إلى جمرة من نار فيجعلها في يده! «فقيل للرجل بعد ما ذهب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: خذ خاتمك؛ انتفع به. قال: لا والله لا آخذه أبدًا وقد طرحه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم»
Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saw a man wearing a gold ring. So he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) pulled it off and threw it away, saying, “One of you takes a live coal, and puts it on his hand.” It was said to the man after Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had left: “Take your ring (of gold) and utilize it,” whereupon he said: “No, by Allah, I would never take it when Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has thrown it away”.
