باب ما جاء فى خاتم النبوةChapter: What has been reported concerning the Seal of Prophethood
The Seal Was Like a Cluster of Hairs
Hadith 20
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عِلْبَاءُ بْنُ أَحْمَرَ الْيَشْكُرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زَيْدٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ أَخْطَبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا أَبَا زَيْدٍ، ادْنُ مِنِّي فَامْسَحْ ظَهْرِي» ، فَمَسَحْتُ ظَهْرَهُ، فَوَقَعَتْ أَصَابِعِي عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ قُلْتُ: وَمَا الْخَاتَمُ؟ قَالَ: «شَعَرَاتٌ مُجْتَمِعَاتٌ»
Alba bin Ahmar Yashkari narrates that Abu Zaid Amr bin Akhtab Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) told me, he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Abu Zaid! Come near me, and pass your hand over my back." So I passed my hand over the back of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and my fingers touched the Seal of Prophethood. (Alba bin Ahmar Yashkari) says: I asked, "What was the Seal of Prophethood like?" He said: "A collection of some hairs."
