It was narrated from Al-Bara' bin 'Azib that :
A man was sitting with the Prophet [SAW] and he was wearing a gold ring. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] had a stick in his hand and the Prophet [SAW] struck his finger. The man said: What's wrong with me, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Why don't you get rid of this thing that is on your finger? The man took it and threw it away. The Prophet [SAW] saw him after that and said: What happened to the ring? He said: I threw it away. He said: I did not tell you to do that, rather I told you to sell it and benefit from its price. This Hadith is Munkar.
