Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5165
This gold ring hadith reports Ali saying that the Prophet [SAW] forbade him to wear gold rings and Al-Qassi, red Al-Miyathir, and to drink Al-Ji'ah. The wording is a list, so the safest explanation is also simple: Ali is naming items he was told to avoid. This report includes both dress-related matters and a drink. It does not explain every item in detail, so we should not add extra claims about each one. For search, this connects with “hadith about gold rings,” “Ali gold ring hadith,” and “Al-Qassi hadith.” The message is about listening to prophetic limits even when several matters are mentioned together.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ali reports a direct prohibition addressed to him.
- Gold rings are mentioned along with other named items.
- The report includes both clothing matters and a drink.
- A careful reader should not add details the text does not give.
