Hadith #51479
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ وَالنَّجَاشِيِّ فَقِيلَ: إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْبَلُونَ كِتَابًا إِلَّا بِخَاتَمٍ فَصَاغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا حَلْقَةَ فِضَّةٍ نُقِشَ فِيهِ: مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ: كَانَ نَقْشُ الْخَاتَمِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَسْطُرٍ: مُحَمَّدٌ سَطْرٌ ورسولُ الله سطر وَالله سطر
And on the authority of Anas that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, wanted to write to Chosroes, Caesar, and the Negus, and it was said: They do not accept a letter except With a ring, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, fashioned a seal, a silver ring, on which was engraved: Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Narrated by Muslim. And in a narration by Al-Bukhari: The inscription on the ring was three lines: Muhammad is a line, the Messenger of God is a line, and God is a line.
