Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

The Seal of Prophethood:

Hātim ibn Ismāʿīl reported: al-Juʿayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, saying, “I heard al-Sāʾib ibn Yazīd relate: My maternal aunt took me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, my sister’s son is unwell.’ He wiped over my head and prayed for blessing, then performed ablution, and I drank from the water of his ablution. After that I stood behind him and looked at the Seal between his shoulders; it was like the egg of a partridge.” Al-Bukhārī and Muslim both record this ḥadīth, and the reading “riz al-ḥajlah” is a mistake—the correct wording refers to “its egg.”

Isrāʾīl narrated from Simāk, who heard Jābir ibn Samurah say: “The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was round, like the sun and the moon. I saw the Seal of Prophethood between his shoulders; it was like a pigeon’s egg and blended with his skin.” Muslim transmits this report.

Hammād ibn Zayd—and others—reported: ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal narrated to us from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sarjis, who said: “I walked behind the Prophet ﷺ and observed the Seal of Prophethood between his shoulders, beside the upper part of his left shoulder blade. It was a raised lump on which were several small moles resembling warts.” Muslim gives a longer version of this narration.

Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī said: Qurrāh ibn Khālid narrated to us; he said: Muʿāwiyah ibn Qurrāh narrated from his father, who said: “I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, show me—’”

خاتم النبوة: قال حاتم بن إسماعيل: حدثنا الجعيد بن عبد الرحمن، قال: سمعت السائب بن يزيد قال: ذهبت بي خالتي فقالت: يا رسول الله إن ابن أختي وجع، فمسح رأسي ودعا لي بالبركة، ثم توضأ فشربت من وضوئه، ثم قمت خلف ظهره، فنظرت إلى خاتمه بين كتفيه مثل زر الحجلة. أخرجاه، ووهم من قال: رز الحجلة، وهو بيضها. وقال إسرائيل، عن سماك، سمع جابر بن سمرة، قال: كان رسول الله ﷺ وجهه مستديرا مثل الشمس والقمر، ورأيت خاتم النبوة بين كتفيه مثل بيضة الحمامة، يشبه جسده. أخرجه مسلم. وقال حماد بن زيد وغيره: حدثنا عاصم الأحول، عن عبد الله بن سرجس قال: درت خلف النبي ﷺ، فنظرت إلى خاتم النبوة بين كتفيه عند نغض كتفه اليسرى، جمعا، عليه خيلان كأمثال الثآليل. أخرجه مسلم أطول من هذا. وقال أبو داود الطيالسي: حدثنا قرة بن خالد، قال: حدثنا معاوية بن قرة، عن أبيه، قال: أتيت النبي ﷺ فقلت: يا رسول الله أرني
