حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا النَّجِيبِ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ، ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَدِمَ مِنْ نَجْرَانَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ خَاتَمُ ذَهَبٍ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، فَرَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَحَدَّثَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ لَكَ لَشَأْنًا، فَارْجِعْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَلْقَى خَاتَمَهُ وَجُبَّةً كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْذَنَ أُذِنَ لَهُ، وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْرَضْتَ عَنِّي قَبْلُ حِينَ جِئْتُكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّكَ جِئْتَنِي وَفِي يَدِكَ جَمْرَةٌ مِنْ نَارٍ " فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ جِئْتُ إِذًا بِجَمْرٍ كَثِيرٍ، وَكَانَ قَدْ قَدِمَ بِحُلِيٍّ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ غَيْرُ مُغْنٍ عَنَّا شَيْئًا، إِلَّا مَا أَغْنَتْ حِجَارَةُ الْحَرَّةِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا "، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اعْذُرْنِي فِي أَصْحَابِكَ، لَا يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّكَ سَخِطْتَ عَلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ، (١) فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَعَذَرَهُ، وَأَخْبَرَ أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنْهُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ لِخَاتَمِهِ الذَّهَبِ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man from Najran came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). He was wearing a gold ring. The Prophet (ﷺ) turned away from him and did not ask him anything. That man went back to his wife and told her the whole incident. She said, "Surely there is some matter concerning you. Go again to the Prophet (ﷺ)." So he again presented himself before the Prophet (ﷺ), and this time, before going, he took off his ring and the cloak he was wearing. This time, when he sought permission, he was granted permission. When he greeted the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) replied to his greeting. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), when I first came to you, you turned away from me?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "At that time, there was a spark of the fire of Hell in your hand." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! Then I have brought many sparks," for in fact, he had brought a lot of jewelry from Bahrain. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have brought that which can benefit us only as much as the stones of a stony land can benefit us. However, this is merely the provision of worldly life." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah! Please make an excuse for me before your companions so that they do not think that you are displeased with me for some reason." So the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up and made an excuse for him, and informed the people that his turning away was due to his gold ring.
