أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُودُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ تَحَلَّتْ - يَعْنِي - بِقِلاَدَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ جُعِلَ فِي عُنُقِهَا مِثْلُهَا مِنَ النَّارِ وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ جَعَلَتْ فِي أُذُنِهَا خُرْصًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي أُذُنِهَا مِثْلَهُ خُرْصًا مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Asma bint Yazid Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "Any woman who puts on a necklace of gold, Allah will put something similar of fire around her neck. Any woman who puts earrings of gold on her ears, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will put earrings of fire on her ears on the Day of Resurrection."

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5139
This hadith narrated by Asma' bint Yazid gives a serious warning about specific gold adornments. The Messenger of Allah SAW said that any woman who puts on a necklace of gold will have something similar of fire around her neck. He also said that any woman who puts gold earrings on her ears will have earrings of fire on her ears on the Day of Resurrection. The report uses clear images to warn against the named items. The explanation should stay close to that wording. It teaches fear of the Hereafter, caution with adornment, and the need to take Prophetic warnings about gold seriously.

- The hadith mentions a gold necklace and gold earrings by name.
- The warning points to the Day of Resurrection.
- Worldly adornment should not make a person ignore accountability.
