حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ أَبُو عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلی الله عليه وسلم کَتَبَ إِلَی کِسْرَی وَقَيْصَرَ وَالنَّجَاشِيِّ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُمْ لا يَقْبَلُونَ کِتَابًا إِلا بِخَاتَمٍ فَصَاغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم خَاتَمًا حَلْقَتُهُ فِضَّةٌ وَنُقِشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ
شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 87
Anas Radiyallahu relates that: Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam made an intention to write letters to Kisra, Qaysur (Ceasar) and Najashi, inviting them to accept Islaam. The people said: '(O Rasulullah) those people do not accept letters without a stamp on it'. For this reason Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam had a stamp made. The ring (loop) of which was silver, and had 'Muhammad Rasulullah' engraved on it".
