5878. Narrated Anas that when Abū Bakr became the caliph, he wrote a letter to him (and stamped it with the Prophet's ring) and the engraving of the ring was in three lines: Muḥammad in one line, 'Messenger' in another line, and 'Allāh' in the third line.

Arabic text

5878 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ: أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ كَتَبَ لَهُ، " وَكَانَ نَقْشُ الخَاتَمِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَسْطُرٍ: مُحَمَّدٌ سَطْرٌ، وَرَسُولُ سَطْرٌ، وَاللَّهِ سَطْرٌ "
