Umar's Ring

The insignia on ‘Umar ibn al Khataab’s ring was: “Sufficient is death as an admonisher O ‘Umar.”

[Al Isti’aab fee Ma’rifat al As-haab by ibn ‘Abdil Bar.]

This print on his ring was to remind him of death whenever he looked at it, and it would deter him from whatever he wanted to do, for indeed a person constantly looks at his hand, so by having it there he would continuously remember death…

[Mahd as Sawaab by Yusuf ibn Hasan ibn ‘Abdul Haadee]
