When Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) decided to write (letters) to non-Arabs (i. e. Persian and Byzantine Emperors) it was said to him that the non-Arabs would not accept a letter but that having a seal over it; so he (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) got a silver ring made. He (Anas) said: I perceive as if I am looking at its brightness in his hand.
