Chapter: What Has Been Reported About Using A Ring.
Hadith 4220
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بِنِ فَارِسٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : فَالْتَمَسُوهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ ، فَاتَّخَذَ عُثْمَانُ خَاتَمًا وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ يَخْتِمُ بِهِ أَوْ يَتَخَتَّمُ بِهِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn Umar through different chain of narrators from the Prophet ﷺ. This version adds: They searched for it but could not find it. Uthman then fashioned a signet-ring and engraved on it "Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah". He used to wear it or stamp with it.
