Ibn al Qayyim related that Umar ibn Abdul Aziz found out that his son had bought a ring for a thousand dirhams. So he wrote him a letter saying "It has reached me that you bought a ring for a thousand dirhams. When this letter reaches you, sell the ring and fill a thousand stomachs. Then buy a ring for two dirhams. Let the inside of it be of iron and engrave on it the following words: "May Allah have mercy on the person who knows his limits."
