حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُکَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلَی الصَّلْتِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ خَاتَمًا فِي خِنْصَرِهِ الْيُمْنَی فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا قَالَ رَأَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَلْبَسُ خَاتَمَهُ هَکَذَا وَجَعَلَ فَصَّهُ عَلَی ظَهْرِهَا قَالَ وَلَا يَخَالُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَّا قَدْ کَانَ يَذْکُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَلْبَسُ خَاتَمَهُ کَذَلِکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4229
Muhammad ibn Ishaq said: I saw as-Salt ibn Abdullah ibn Nawfal ibn Abdul Muttalib wearing the signet-ring on his right small finger. I asked: What is this? He replied: I saw Ibn Abbas wearing his ring in this manner. He put its stone towards the upper part of his palm. Ibn Abbas also mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wear his signet-ring in his manner.
