Is it true that the wedding ring (diblah) existed during the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and that this is mentioned in Ibn al-Jawzi's history and Abu Nu'aym's Hilyah, even though scholars consider it to be from the customs of Christians?

Wearing an engagement or wedding ring is not permissible according to the scholars. No evidence has been found to prove that wearing it existed during the time of the Caliphs, nor was it mentioned in the books of Ibn al-Jawzi or Hilyat al-Awliya.
