3643. As-Sā'ib bin Yazīd said: "My maternal aunt took me to the Prophet ﷺ, and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Indeed my nephew is in pain.' So he wiped over my head and supplicated for blessings for me. And he performed Wudū' and I drank from the water of his Wudū'. Then I stood behind his back, and I looked at the seal between his two shoulder blades, and it resembled the egg of a partridge." (Saḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Salmān, Qurrah bin Iyās Al-Muzani, Jābir bin Samurah, Abū Rimthah, Buraidah Al-Aslamī, 'Abdullāh bin Sarjis, 'Amr bin Akhtab and Abū Sa'eed. And This Hadīth is Hasan Saḥīḥ Gharīb from this route.

٣٦٤٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنِ ‌الْجَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ يَقُولُ: «ذَهَبَتْ بِي خَالَتِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ ابْنَ أُخْتِي وَجِعٌ، فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِي وَدَعَا لِي بِالْبَرَكَةِ،» وَتَوَضَّأَ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ، فَقُمْتُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ، فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْخَاتَمِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مِثْلُ زِرِّ الْحَجَلَةِ. الزِّرُّ: يُقَالَ بَيْضٌ لَهَا. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، وَقُرَّةَ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ، وَجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، وَأَبِي رِمْثَةَ، وَبُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، وَعَمْرِو بْنِ أَخْطَبَ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Commentary

Different Companions have described the 'Seal of Prophethood' differently, and everyone has given his own description according to his own understanding and views. Some described it like an egg of a partridge, others said it was like the egg of the pigeon, and still some others say that it was like "Ziril-Hajalah" meaning the button of a canopy.
