أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدِ اتَّخَذَ حَلْقَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَقَالَ ‏

"‏ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَصُوغَ عَلَيْهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَلاَ تَنْقُشُوا عَلَى نَقْشِهِ ‏"

It was narrated that Anas said:

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] came out wearing a silver ring. He said: 'Whoever wants to make a ring like this, let him do so, but do not put the same inscription.'"
