When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to write to the Byzantines, it was said to him, "Those people do not
read your letter unless it is stamped." So the Prophet (ﷺ) took a silver ring and got 'Muhammad, the
Apostle of Allah' engraved on it .... as if I am now looking at its glitter in his hand.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 77, Hadith 92
