حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ح و حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: اتَّخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ وَرِقٍ فَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ عُمَرَ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي يَدِ عُثْمَانَ حَتَّى وَقَعَ مِنْهُ فِي بِئْرِ أَرِيسٍ نَقْشُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَتَّى وَقَعَ فِي بِئْرِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ مِنْهُ.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) acquired a ring of silver which was on his hand, then it was on the hand of Abu Bakr, then it was on the hand of 'Umar, then it was on the hand of 'Uthman until it fell from (his hand) into the well of Aris, and its inscription said Muhammad Rasul Allah." Ibn Numair said: "Until it fell into a well," and he did not say, "from (his hand)."
