Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw a person wearing a gold signet ring in his hand. He (the Holy Prophet) pulled it off and threw it away, saying:
One of you is wishing live coal from Hell. and putting it on his hand. It was said to the person after Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had left: Take your signet ring (of gold) and derive benefit out of it. whereupon he said: No, by Allah, I would never take it when Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has thrown it away.
