بَابُ : صِفَةِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَنَقْشِهِ
Chapter: Description of the Ring of the Prophet [SAW] and its Inscription
Hadith 5280
أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ ، عَنْ بِشْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى الرُّومِ , فَقَالُوا : إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابًا إِلَّا مَخْتُومًا ، " فَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي يَدِهِ ، وَنُقِشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ " .
´It was narrated that Anas said:` "The Messenger of Allah [SAW] wanted to write to the Romans, and they (the Companions) said: 'They do not read any letter unless it has a seal.' So he took a ring of silver and it is as if I can see its whiteness on his hand, and engraved on it (were the words): 'Muhammad Rasul Allah.'"
