٣٦۔ كتاب الخاتم
The Prophet ﷺ used to wear the signet-ring on his right hand.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ شَرِيكٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَخَتَّمُ فِي يَمِينِهِ
The Prophet ﷺ used to wear the signet-ring on his left hand, and put its stone next the palm of his hand. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Ishaq and Usamah b. Zaid transmitted from Nafi': "On his right hand".
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَخَتَّمُ فِي يَسَارِهِ وَكَانَ فَصُّهُ فِي بَاطِنِ كَفِّهِ
Nafi' said that Ibn 'Umar used to wear his signet-ring on his left hand.
أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَلْبَسُ خَاتَمَهُ فِي يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى
I saw as-Salt ibn Abdullah ibn Nawfal ibn AbdulMuttalib wearing the signet-ring on his right small finger. I asked: What is this? He replied: I saw Ibn Abbas wearing his ring in this manner. He put its stone towards the upper part of his palm. Ibn Abbas also mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wear his signet-ring in his manner.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَلْبَسُ خَاتَمَهُ كَذَلِكَ
