2718. Anas bin Mālik narrated: "When the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ wanted to write to the foreigners it was said to him: "The foreigners do not accept a letter unless it has a seal. So he had a ring made." He said: "It is as if I am now looking at its whiteness in his hand." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
٢٧١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «لَمَّا أَرَادَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى الْعَجَمِ قِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ الْعَجَمَ لَا يَقْبَلُونَ إِلَّا كِتَابًا عَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ، فَاصْطَنَعَ» خَاتَمًا قَالَ: فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي كَفِّهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
