Detachment from Worldly Possessions

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man wearing a gold ring and threw it away, teaching that one should not be attached to worldly possessions.

'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah saw a man wearing a gold ring. So he (the Prophet ) pulled it off and threw it away, saying, "One of you takes a live coal, and puts it on his hand". It was said to the man after Messenger of Allah had left: "Take your ring (of gold) and utilize it," whereupon he said: "No, by Allah, I would never take it when Messenger of Allah has thrown it away". Muslim.
الثامن ‏:‏ عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله رأى خاتمًا من ذهب في يد رجل، فنزعه فطرحه وقال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ يعمد أحدكم إلى جمرة من نار فيجعلها في يده ‏!‏‏"‏ فقيل للرجل بعد ما ذهب رسول الله ‏:‏ خذ خاتمك؛ انتفع به‏.‏ قال‏:‏ لا والله لا آخذه أبدًا وقد طرحه رسول الله ‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of being detached from worldly possessions. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw a man wearing a gold ring and pulled it off and threw it away, saying “One of you takes a live coal, and puts it on his hand”. This is an example of how we should not become attached to material things in this world as they are temporary. We must remember that our true purpose in life is to serve Allah SWT by following His commands and worshipping Him alone. We must also remember that all our wealth comes from Allah SWT so we should use it for good deeds such as charity or helping those in need instead of using it for selfish purposes or hoarding wealth for ourselves. It is important to keep our focus on the hereafter rather than getting too caught up in the material world around us.
