Is there any basis for this in Islam?","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"Yes, wearing a silver ring with a stone is sunnah and there is immense blessing in everything the Prophet ﷺ does. However, there is no scholarly consensus on the specific type of stone. Imām Muslim relates, on the authority of Anas bin Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him), that Allah’s Messenger ﷺ wore a silver ring on his right hand with an Abyssinian stone, and he used to make the stone face his palm. Imām al-Nawawī, in his commentary on Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, said: “The scholars say an Abyssinian stone means a stone of onyx or carnelian (ʿaqīq) because their mines are in Abyssinia and Yemen, or it is said that its color was Abyssinian (i.e., black).” Some scholars, including al-Suyuṭī, also mentioned that Abyssinian refers to a type of chrysolite with a greenish color found in the lands of the Abyssinians. However, it should be noted that there are no authenticated prophetic traditions stating that the Prophet ﷺ wore a carnelian ring, as stated by Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him).\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff70b76658b4c232a80","tag":"Seerah: Sunnah and Hadith","count":68},{"_id":"668da0220b76658b4c232f03","tag":"Men: Jewelry","count":16}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:28.076Z"}
