The Prophet’s silver ring inscribed “Muhammad Rasul Allah” and its use by caliphs

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a ring made of silver, and it was in his hand. Then it remained in the hand of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), then it remained in the hand of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), then it remained in the hand of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), until it fell from him into the well of Aris. The inscription on that ring was: "Muhammad, Messenger of Allah" (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had a ring made of silver and had engraved on it "Muhammad Rasul Allah" (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He said to the people: I have had a ring made of silver and have had engraved on it "Muhammad Rasul Allah", so no one should engrave this inscription on his ring.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) wanted to write letters to (the king of Iran) Kisra, (the king of Rome) Caesar, and (the king of Abyssinia) Najashi. The people said, "These kings will not accept any letter unless it has a seal on it." So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had a ring made, the band of which was of silver, and "Muhammad Rasul Allah" was engraved on it.
