When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to write to the Byzantines, the people said, "They do not read a letter
unless it is sealed (stamped)." Therefore the Prophet (ﷺ) took a silver ring----as if I am looking at its
glitter now----and its engraving was: 'Muhammad, Apostle of Allah'.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 26

Hind bint `Utba bin Rabi`a came and said. "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, there was no family on the
surface of the earth, I like to see in degradation more than I did your family, but today there is no
family on the surface of the earth whom I like to see honored more than yours." Hind added, "Abu
Sufyan is a miser. Is it sinful of me to feed our children from his property?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There
is no blame on you if you feed them (thereof) in a just and reasonable manner.

That when he went to 'Umar during his Caliphate. 'Umar said to him,
"Haven't I been told that you do certain jobs for the people but when
you are given payment you refuse to take it?" 'Abdullah added: I said,
"Yes." 'Umar said, "Why do you do so?" I said, "I have horses and
slaves and I am living in prosperity and I wish that my payment should
be kept as a charitable gift for the Muslims." 'Umar said, "Do not do
so, for I intended to do the same as you do. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s used to
give me gifts and I used to say to him, 'Give it to a more needy one
than me.' Once he gave me some money and I said, 'Give it to a more
needy person than me,' whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Take it and keep
it in your possession and then give it in charity. Take what ever
comes to you of this money if you are not keen to have it and not
asking for it; otherwise (i.e., if it does not come to you) do not
seek to have it yourself.' "
