[5480] 56 - (...) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wanted to send a letter to the Byzantines, they (the people) said: 'They do not read any letter unless it is sealed.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ acquired a ring of silver. It is as if I can see its brightness on the hand of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and its inscription said: 'Muḥammad Rasûl Allāh.'
56 - (2092) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى الرُّومِ، قَالَ: قَالُوا: إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابًا إِلَّا مَخْتُومًا، قَالَ: «فَاتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، نَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ»
