English translation

5872. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ wanted to write a letter to a group of people or some non-Arabs. It was said to him, "They do not accept any letter unless it is stamped." So the Prophet ﷺ had a silver ring made for himself, and on it was engraved: 'Muḥammad, the Messenger of Allāh'... as if I am now looking at the glitter of the ring on the finger (or in the palm) of the Prophet ﷺ.

Arabic text

5872 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: «أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى رَهْطٍ، أَوْ أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الأَعَاجِمِ»، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَقْبَلُونَ كِتَابًا إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ، " فَاتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، نَقْشُهُ: مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، فَكَأَنِّي بِوَبِيصِ، أَوْ بِبَصِيصِ الخَاتَمِ فِي إِصْبَعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَوْ فِي كَفِّهِ "
