Hadeeth 65.

Narrated Anas bin Malik رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ: Once the Prophet صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِۦ وَسَلَّمَ wrote a letter or had an idea of writing a letter. The Prophet صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِۦ وَسَلَّمَ was told that they (rulers) would not read letters unless they were sealed. So the Prophet صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِۦ وَسَلَّمَ got a silver ring made with "Muhammad Allah's Messenger صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِۦ وَسَلَّمَ" engraved on it. As if I were just observing its white glitter in the hand of the Prophet.
