حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ، وَأَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ يَحْيَى بْنُ وَاضِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا لِي أَرَى عَلَيْكَ حِلْيَةَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ صُفْرٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا لِي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ الأَصْنَامِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا لِي أَرَى عَلَيْكَ حِلْيَةَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مِنْ أَىِّ شَيْءٍ أَتَّخِذُهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَلاَ تُتِمَّهُ مِثْقَالاً ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ‏.‏ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ يُكْنَى أَبَا طَيْبَةَ وَهُوَ مَرْوَزِيٌّ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Humayd narrated to us: Zayd ibn Hubab narrated to us, and Abu Tumaylah Yahya ibn Wadih (also narrated to us), from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muslim, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wearing an iron ring. He said: ‘Why do I see on you the adornment of the people of the Fire?’ Then the man came to him wearing a brass ring, and he said: ‘Why do I smell the scent of idols from you?’ Then he came to him wearing a gold ring, and he said: ‘Why do I see on you the adornment of the people of Paradise?’ The man asked: ‘Then what should I make it from?’ He replied: ‘From silver, but do not let it reach a full mithqal in weight.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is gharīb (rare). There is also a report on this topic from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr. ‘Abd Allah ibn Muslim’s teknonym is Abu Taybah, and he was from Marw.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source says ‘do not complete it to a mithqal’; the translation retains the weight threshold without adding an interpretation about modern units.

  • حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ،

    The English witness omits the chain, including the two transmitters who jointly report from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muslim.

    Should the English witness include the source's full chain?
