حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي الْخَصِيبِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مُبَارَكٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَأَى رَجُلاً فِي يَدِهِ حَلْقَةٌ مِنْ صُفْرٍ فَقَالَ " مَا هَذِهِ الْحَلْقَةُ " . قَالَ هَذِهِ مِنَ الْوَاهِنَةِ . قَالَ " انْزِعْهَا فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَزِيدُكَ إِلاَّ وَهْنًا " .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
ʿAlī ibn Abī al-Khaṣīb narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Mubārak, from al-Ḥasan, from ʿImrān ibn al-Ḥuṣayn: The Prophet saw a man with a brass ring on his hand and said, ‘What is this ring?’ He said, ‘It is for al-wāhinah.’ He said, ‘Take it off, for it will only increase your weakness.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The man names the condition/remedy as الوَاهِنَة; it is retained in transliteration because the report does not specify a modern diagnosis. The Arabic says the ring is made of brass (صُفْر).
قَالَ هَذِهِ مِنَ الْوَاهِنَةِ .
الوَاهِنَة is a historical condition/name associated with weakness, but the passage does not define it or identify a modern diagnosis.
Should الوَاهِنَة remain transliterated as al-wāhinah or be glossed with a specific condition?
