حَدَّثَنَا أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد بن بُطّة، حَدَّثَنَا محمد بن عبد الله بن رُسْتَهْ الأصبهاني، حَدَّثَنَا سليمان بن داود الشاذَكُوني، حَدَّثَنَا عيسى بن يونس، عن هشام بن عُرْوة، عن أبيه، عن ابن عبّاس: أنه سُئل عن عثمانَ: ما كان على فَصِّ خاتِمِه؟ قال: كان على فَصِّ خاتِمِه من صِدق نِيَّته: اللهم أحْيِني سعيدًا، وأمِتْني شهيدًا، فوالله لقد عاشَ سعيدًا، ومات شهيدًا (1).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he was asked about Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): what was engraved on the stone of his ring? He said: Because of the sincerity of his intention, these words were inscribed on the stone of his ring: 'Allahumma ahyini sa'idan wa amitni shahidan' (O Allah, grant me a life of felicity and grant me the death of a martyr). So by Allah! He lived with felicity and died the death of a martyr.

(1) إسناده ضعيف جدًّا من أجل سليمان بن داود الشاذَكُوني، فهو متروك الحديث، واتهمه بعضهم.
Grading: (1) Its chain is very weak (da'if jiddan) because of Sulayman bin Dawud al-Shadhakuni; he is matruk al-hadith, and some accused him.
والصحيح أن عثمان ﵁ كان معه كان معه خاتم النَّبِيّ ﷺ وكان منقوشًا عليه "محمد رسول الله" ولبسه قبله أبو بكر ثم عمر، ثم سقط منه في بئر، فاتخذ خاتمًا آخر ونقش فيه أيضًا "محمد رسول الله". أخرجه أبو داود (4220)، والنسائي (9478) من طريق المغيرة بن زياد الموصلي، عن نافع، عن ابن عمر وإسناده حسن، وأصله في "الصحيحين" لكن دون ذكر اتخاذ عثمان خاتمًا آخر، من غير طريق المغيرة بن زياد.
Important point: The correct account is that Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) had the ring of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), engraved with "Muhammad Rasul Allah"; Abu Bakr and then Umar had worn it before him. Then it fell from him into a well, so he had another ring made and had "Muhammad Rasul Allah" engraved on it as well.
Reference / Source: Abu Dawud (4220) and al-Nasa'i (9478) narrated it via the route of al-Mughirah bin Ziyad al-Mawsili, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, and its chain is hasan. Its basis is in the "Sahihayn", but without mention of the making of another ring, and through a route other than that of al-Mughirah bin Ziyad.
وأخرج ابن عساكر 39/ 209 بسند لا بأس به، عن عمرو بن عثمان بن عفان، قال: كان نقش خاتم عثمان: آمنت بالذي خلق فسوَّى. وقد جزم ابن رجب في "أحكام الخواتم" ص 100 بأنَّ هذا كان نقش خاتم عثمان الجديد الذي اتخذه بعد أن سقط منه الخاتم النبوي في البئر.
Reference / Source: Ibn Asakir (39/ 209) narrated, with a chain in which there is no harm, from Amr bin Uthman bin Affan, who said: The engraving on Uthman's ring was: "Amantu bi-lladhi khalaqa fa-sawwa" (I believe in the One who created and proportioned). Ibn Rajab stated firmly in "Ahkam al-Khawatim" (page 100) that this was the engraving of the new ring that Uthman had made after the Prophet's ring fell into the well.
