حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عِلْبَائُ بْنُ أَحْمَرَ الْيَشْکُرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زَيْدٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ أَخْطَبَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم يَا أَبَا زَيْدٍ ادْنُ مِنِّي فَامْسَحْ ظَهْرِي فَمَسَحْتُ ظَهْرَهُ فَوَقَعَتْ أَصَابِعِي عَلَی الْخَاتَمِ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْخَاتَمُ قَالَ شَعَرَاتٌ مُجْتَمِعَاتٌ

`Ilbaa bin Ahmar Al-yashkari says that the Sahaabi, Abu Zayd `Amr bin Akhtab Al-Ansaari Radhiallahu Anhu said to me: "Rasullullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) once asked me to massage his waist. When I began massaging the back, accidently (by chance) my fingers touched the Seal of Prophethood. `Ilbaa (Radhiallahu anhu) says: `I asked Amr (Radhiallahu anhu), what is the Seal of Prophethood?' He replied: `It was a collection of few hair'".
