Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abd al-A'la narrated to us, saying: Yazid ibn Zura' narrated to us, saying: Sa'id narrated to us from Qatadah from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): .
The Shaykh : The manner of the writing is this: Muhammad is at the bottom, Messenger is above it, Allah is above that, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. This is its manner: three lines. Yes, Muhammad is one line, and Messenger is one line, and Allah is one line.
That the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to write to a group, or people from among the non-Arabs, so it was said to him: "They do not accept a letter unless it has a seal on it." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a seal of silver, engraved with: Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. It is as if I see the gleam, or the glint of the seal on the finger of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or in his palm.
أن نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم أراد أن يكتب إلى رهط، أو أناس من الأعاجم، فقيل له: إنهم لا يقبلون كتابا إلا عليه خاتم، فاتخذ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم خاتما من فضة، نقشه: محمد رسول الله، فكأني بوبيص، أو ببصيص الخاتم في أصبع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، أو في كفهThe Shaykh : The manner of the writing is this: Muhammad is at the bottom, Messenger is above it, Allah is above that, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. This is its manner: three lines. Yes, Muhammad is one line, and Messenger is one line, and Allah is one line.
