Explanation of the words of Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what he quoted: "

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) stated, in what he quoted from Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father)
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man with a gold ring on his hand, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) removed it from his hand and threw it on the ground, saying: “Does one of you take a piece of fire and put it in his hand?” When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had left, it was said to the man: “Take your ring and benefit from it.” He said: “By Allah, I will not take a ring that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has thrown away.” أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى رجلًا وفي يده خاتم من ذهب، فنزعه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من يده وطرحه في الأرض وقال: يعمد أحدكم إلى جمرة من نار فيضعها في يده، فلما ذهب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قيل للرجل: خذ بخاتمك انتفع به، قال: والله لا آخذ خاتمًا طرحه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) brought this hadith in the chapter on enjoining good and forbidding evil, because it contains changing evil by hand. For a man wearing gold is forbidden and an evil, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding gold and silk
have been permitted for the females of my Ummah, and forbidden to the males أحل لإناث أمتي وحرم على ذكورها
Sunan an-Nasa'i 5148Sahih (Darussalam)
It is not permissible for a man to wear a gold ring, nor to wear a gold necklace, nor to wear clothes with a gold belt or anything else. He must avoid all gold. This is because gold is worn by those who need adornment and beautification, such as a woman who beautifies herself for her husband so that he desires her. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]? أَوَمَنْ يُنَشَّأُ فِي الْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِي الْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:18]
meaning women. Women are raised in adornment and brought up with it, and in disputes they are not clear, being hesitant and not eloquent. In any case, women need gold to beautify themselves for their husbands, and a man is not in need of that. A man beautifies himself for himself and does not beautify himself for others, except for a man in his relationship with his wife, where each beautifies himself for the other, which is part of the affection between them. But in any case, it is not permissible for a man to wear gold under any circumstances.
