٣٧۔١٢ بَاب لُبْسِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ نَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَلُبْسِ الْخُلَفَاءِ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ

Ibn Umar reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had made for himself a ring of silver, and he (wore it in his finger). then it was in Abu Bakr's finger. then it was in'Umar's finger. then it was in 'Uthman's finger. until it fell into the well of Aris and it had these words engraved upon it (Muhammad, Messenger of Allah). Ibn Numair narrated it with a slight variation of words.  

مسلم:٢٠٩١d – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

اتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ فَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ عُمَرَ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ عُثْمَانَ حَتَّى وَقَعَ مِنْهُ فِي بِئْرِ أَرِيسٍ نَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَتَّى وَقَعَ فِي بِئْرِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ مِنْهُ  

muslim:2091e – Abū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah And ʿAmrw al-Nāqid And Muḥammad b. ʿAbbād And Ibn Abū ʿUmar Wa-al-Lafẓ Lʾabī Bakr > Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > Ayyūb b. Mūsá > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

No one should engrave anything like the engraving of this signet ring of mine. And when he wore it, he kept its stone towards the inside of his palm, and it was this which fell down (from the hands) of Mu'ayqib into the well of Aris.  

مسلم:٢٠٩١e – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهُ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ لاَ يَنْقُشْ أَحَدٌ عَلَى نَقْشِ خَاتَمِي هَذَا وَكَانَ إِذَا لَبِسَهُ جَعَلَ فَصَّهُ مِمَّا يَلِي بَطْنَ كَفِّهِ وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَقَطَ مِنْ مُعَيْقِيبٍ فِي بِئْرِ أَرِيسٍ

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Apostle ﷺ had made for him a silver ring. and got engraved on it (Muhammad, Messenger of Allah) and said to the people I have got made a ring of silver and engraved in it (these words) (Muhammad, Messenger of Allah). So none should engrave these (words) like this engravement.  

مسلم:٢٠٩٢a – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَخَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّوسلم اتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ إِنِّي اتَّخَذْتُ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَنَقَشْتُ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَلاَ يَنْقُشْ أَحَدٌ عَلَى نَقْشِهِ  

muslim:2092b – Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal And ʾAbū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah Wazuhayr b. Ḥarb > Ismāʿīl Yaʿnūn Ibn ʿUlayyah > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Ṣuhayb > Anas

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Anas through another chain of transmitters but there is no mention of the words (Muhammad, Messenger of Allah) in it.  

مسلم:٢٠٩٢b – وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنُونَ ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِهَذَا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي الْحَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
