question #3 Sahih al-Bukhari 7298, Book 96, Hadith 29 : What can be learned from the Prophet’s example regarding the adoption and abandonment of certain practices?

The Prophet (ﷺ) wore a gold ring and then the people followed him and wore gold rings too. Then the
Prophet said, “I had this golden ring made for myself. He then threw it away and said, “I shall never
put it on.” Thereupon the people also threw their rings away.
