5207 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدِ اتَّخَذَ حَلْقَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَصُوغَ عَلَيْهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ، وَلَا تَنْقُشُوا عَلَى نَقْشِهِ»

Commentary
'On the blessed signet ring of the Prophet ﷺ': Muhammadan Rasûlullah was engraved, which in reality was his seal. If other people were also given permission to use this engraving, no distinction would have remained in this signet ring, and deception might have occurred. The entire objective of fashioning the signet-ring might have been defeated.
