Hadith text · Matn

‏ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي وَسَدِّدْنِي ‏

‏ ‏.‏ وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَضَعَ الْخَاتَمَ فِي هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ بِشْرٌ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى ‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ أَحَدُهُمَا ‏.‏

English translation

It was narrated that 'Ali said:

"The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said to me: 'Say: O Allah, guide me and make me steadfast,' and he forbade me to put a ring on this one and this one" - and Bishr (one of the narrators) pointed to his forefinger and middle finger. And 'Asim said: "One of the two of them."
