حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ كِتَابًا إِلَى الرُّومِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَخْتُومًا لَمْ يُقْرَأْ كِتَابُكَ، " فَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ، وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي كَفِّهِ " (٣)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to write a letter to the Romans, the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted that those people only read sealed letters. So the Prophet (ﷺ) had a silver ring made. Its whiteness is still before my eyes. The inscription on it was: "Muhammad Rasul Allah (ﷺ)."
