حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَکْتُبَ إِلَی رَهْطٍ أَوْ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ الْأَعَاجِمِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْبَلُونَ کِتَابًا إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ خَاتَمٌ فَاتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ نَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَکَأَنِّي بِوَبِيصِ أَوْ بِبَصِيصِ الْخَاتَمِ فِي إِصْبَعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ فِي کَفِّهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 5873
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle had a silver ring made for himself and it was worn by him on his hand. Afterwards it was worn by Abu Bakr, and then by `Umar, and then by `Uthman till it fell in the Aris well. (On that ring) was engraved: 'Muhammad, the Apostle of Allah."
