English translation

[5481] 57 - (...) It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet of Allâh ﷺ wanted to send a letter to the non-Arabs, and it was said to him: "The non-Arabs do not read any letter unless it has a seal on it." So he had a ring of silver made. He said: "It is as if I can see its brightness on his hand."

Arabic text

57 - (2092) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى الْعَجَمِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ الْعَجَمَ لَا يَقْبَلُونَ إِلَّا كِتَابًا عَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ، «فَاصْطَنَعَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ»، قَالَ: «كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي يَدِهِ»
