أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سُمَيْعٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ صُوحَانَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ انْهَنَا عَمَّا نَهَاكَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ نَهَانِي عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَحَلْقَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَلُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ .
It was narrated that Sa'sa'ah bin Suwhan said: "I said to 'Ali: 'Forbid to us that which the Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade to you.' He said: 'He forbade me from Ad-Dubba', Al-Hantam, gold circles (rings), wearing silk, and Al-Qassi, and red Al-Mitharah.'"

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5169
This hadith about gold circles comes through Sa'sa'ah bin Suwhan, who asked Ali to tell them what the Messenger of Allah [SAW] had forbidden to him. Ali then listed Ad-Dubba', Al-Hantam, gold circles, wearing silk, Al-Qassi, and red Al-Mitharah. The report is important because it is framed as a request for guidance. It also shows Ali answering with a list, not a long speech. For search terms, people may look for “gold circles hadith,” “wearing silk hadith,” or “red Al-Mitharah hadith.” The clear teaching is to transmit prophetic limits as they were received, while keeping the list in the same shape the report gives.
