Musnad Abi Ya'la 3271 — the Prophet ﷺ wrote a letter to the people
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ إِلَى الرُّومِ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْبَلُونَ كِتَابًا إِلَّا بِخَاتَمٍ ، فَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي يَدِهِ ، نَقْشُهُ : مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote a letter to the people of Rome (the Byzantines), and it was said to him (peace and blessings be upon him) that they do not accept any letter without a seal. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) had a silver ring made. (Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) It is as if I can still see its whiteness and shine on his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hand. Its engraving was "Muhammad Rasul Allah" (Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).
