Hadith 1744

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي رَافِعٍ يَتَخَتَّمُ فِي يَمِينِهِ ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ يَتَخَتَّمُ فِي يَمِينِهِ ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ : " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَخَتَّمُ فِي يَمِينِهِ " ، قَالَ : وقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل : هَذَا أَصَحُّ شَيْءٍ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ .
Hammad bin Salamah says: I saw Ibn Abi Rafi’ wearing a ring on his right hand, so I asked him about it. He said: I saw Abdullah bin Ja’far (may Allah be pleased with him) wearing a ring on his right hand. Abdullah bin Ja’far (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to wear a ring on his right hand. Muhammad bin Isma’il al-Bukhari says: This is the most authentic narration in this chapter that is reported from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) The purpose of the chapter heading established by Imam al-Nasa’i rahimahullah is to clarify this important issue: that it is legally permissible (shar‘an) to wear an iron ring that has a silver covering. It is necessary to avoid wearing a ring made purely of iron, because it has been described as the adornment of the people of Hell. (: al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah, Musnad Ahmad: 11/69).

(2) This blessed hadith also proves that serving the people of knowledge and virtue is recommended (mustahabb). Furthermore, it is permissible to have a free man perform service as well, provided that he is willing and consents to do so gladly.

(3) It is necessary to safeguard official seals, as well as those of other important institutions, which are used to stamp letters and documents, so that they are not misused by anyone. Otherwise, all such documents and letters would be rendered invalid and unreliable. And Allah knows best.
