Muhammad ibn Sahl al-Tamimi narrated to me: Ibn Abi Maryam narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Ja‘far informed me: Ibrahim ibn ‘Uqbah informed me, from Kurayb, the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbas, from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a gold ring on the hand of a man, so he pulled it off and threw it away, saying: "Would one of you deliberately take a coal of fire and place it in his hand?" It was said to the man after the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had left: "Take your ring and benefit from it." He said: "No, by Allah, I will never take it, for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, threw it away."
