Chapter: The Prohibition Of Wearing Rings On The Middle Finger And The One That Is Next To It

He the Prophet (ﷺ), forbade me that I should wear my ring in this (forefinger) or in that near it. 'Asim (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: He did not remember which of the two (fingers) he pointed out; and he forbade to wear Qassi material (silk garments), and to sit on the silk saddle cloth, and he said: As regards Qassi, it is a variegated garment which was brought from Egypt and Syria which had figures upon it, and as regards Mayathir, it is something which women prepared for their husbands as red cloths for their saddles.

A hadith like this has been reported on the authority of 'Ali through a different chain of transmitters.

'Ali b. Abu Talib reported that he (Allah'. s Apostle) forbade or forbade me. the rest of the hadith is the same.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade me that I should wear a ring in this and that finger of mine , and he pointed to the middle finger and the next one.
