Mishkat al-Masabih 343
عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْخَلَاءَ نَزَعَ خَاتَمَهُ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ وَقَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ. وَفِي رِوَايَتِهِ وَضَعَ بَدَلَ نزع
Anas said: ‘When the Prophet entered the privy, he removed his ring.’ Abū Dāwūd, al-Nasāʾī, and al-Tirmidhī transmitted it. Al-Tirmidhī said: ‘This is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ gharīb report.’ Abū Dāwūd said: ‘This is a munkar report.’ Abū Dāwūd’s version says ‘set it down’ instead of ‘removed it.’
Translation notes
The accompanying grading labels this report weak. The source preserves differing assessments: al-Tirmidhī calls it ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ gharīb, while Abū Dāwūd calls it munkar (rejected). It also notes a wording variant in Abū Dāwūd’s version.
