Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to me, and Ghundar narrated to us, and Shu'bah narrated to us, saying: I heard Qatadah from Anas ibn Malik, who said:.
The Shaykh : Yes, in this there is evidence that it is recommended for the ruler to make a seal and write his name on it. The seal of the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had the engraving: Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. Muhammad was at the bottom, and "Messenger" was above it, and "Allah" was above "Messenger." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) made it of silver. He said: "It is as if I am looking at its shine." The shine is like a gleam, in word and meaning, meaning its gleam. Yes.
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to me, and Ghundar narrated to us, and Shu'bah narrated to us, saying: I heard Qatadah from Anas ibn Malik, who said:
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to write to the Romans, they said, "They do not read a letter unless it is sealed." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a seal of silver. It is as if I am looking at its shine and its engraving: Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah.
لما أراد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يكتب إلى الروم قالوا إنهم لا يقرءون كتاباً إلا مختوماً فاتخذ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خاتماً من فضة كأني أنظر إلى وبيصه ونقشه محمد رسول اللهThe Shaykh : Yes, in this there is evidence that it is recommended for the ruler to make a seal and write his name on it.
