أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمُنْكَدِرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلاَ أَقُولُ نَهَاكُمْ عَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْمُفَدَّمِ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ وَعَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ رَاكِعًا .
It was narrated that 'Ali said: "The Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade me- but I do not say that he forbade you- from wearing rings of gold, and from wearing Al-Qassi, and from wearing Al-Mufaddam (garments dyed deep red) and Al-Mu'asfar (garments dyed with safflower), and from reciting Qur'an while bowing."

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5173
This report from Ali is very careful in tone. He says the Messenger of Allah [SAW] forbade him, but he does not say that the Prophet forbade the listeners. Then he lists wearing rings of gold, wearing Al-Qassi, wearing Al-Mufaddam and Al-Mu'asfar garments, and reciting Qur'an while bowing. The main search term is “reciting Quran in ruku hadith,” and another related term is “gold ring hadith Ali.” The key is not to overstate it. This exact narration mentions bowing, not prostration. It also preserves Ali’s care in saying what applied to him without making a wider claim inside this report.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ali distinguishes what was said to him from what he says to others.
- Gold rings and named garments are included in the list.
- This version mentions reciting Qur’an while bowing.
- The report teaches care in wording and care in prayer practice.
