Signet-Rings (Kitab Al-Khatam)
Da'if in chain

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَلْبَسُ خَاتَمَهُ فِي يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى ‏.‏
Nafi' said that Ibn 'Umar used to wear his signet-ring on his left hand.

Modern Application
