Chapter 36 · Signet-Rings (Kitab Al-Khatam)مَا جَاءَ فِي اتِّخَاذِ الْخَاتَمِ
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ الرُّوَاسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْأَعَاجِمِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابًا إِلَّا بِخَاتَمٍ، فَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ .
