Greetings
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو هُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّجِيبِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ، وَفِي يَدِهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةُ حَرِيرٍ، فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ مَحْزُونًا، فَشَكَا إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ، فَقَالَتْ: لَعَلَّ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَجِبَّتَكَ وَخَاتَمَكَ، فَأَلْقِهِمَا ثُمَّ عُدْ، فَفَعَلَ، فَرَدَّ السَّلاَمَ، فَقَالَ: جِئْتُكَ آنِفًا فَأَعْرَضْتَ عَنِّي؟ قَالَ: كَانَ فِي يَدِكَ جَمْرٌ مِنْ نَارٍ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ جِئْتُ إِذًا بِجَمْرٍ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّ مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ لَيْسَ بِأَجْزَأَ عَنَّا مِنْ حِجَارَةِ الْحَرَّةِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا، قَالَ: فَبِمَاذَا أَتَخَتَّمُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ: بِحَلْقَةٍ مِنْ وَرِقٍ، أَوْ صُفْرٍ، أَوْ حَدِيدٍ.
Abu Sa'id said, "A man came from al-Bahrayn to the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and greeted him, but the Prophet did
not answer him. The man was wearing a gold ring and a silk robe. The man
went away in sorrow. He complained to his wife and she said, 'Perhaps the
Messenger of Allah objects to your robe and your ring. Throw them away
and then go back.; he did that and then the Prophet returned his greeting.
he said, 'I came to you yesterday and you turned away from me.' He said,
'You had a coal of the Fire on your hand.' He said, 'I came then with any
coals.' He said, 'As for what you brought, there is no one who is free
from dependence on these stones. But it is the enjoyment of the life of
this world.' He said, 'What should I make a ring from?' 'From silver, brass,
or iron,' he replied.
