«ذهبت بي خالتي إلى النبي فقالت: يا رسول الله إن ابن أختي وجع، فمسح رأسي ودعا لي بالبركة، ثم توضأ فشربت من وضوئه، ثم قمت خلف ظهره فنظرت إلى خاتم النبوة بين كتفيه مثل زر الحجلة»

Summary
In the Book of Ablution, the chapter on the excellence of ablution. The report of al-Sa'ib ibn Yazid combines two scenes: the companions' use of the Prophet ﷺ's leftover ablution water, and his seeing the seal of prophethood as a mark between his shoulders like the knob of a bridal tent. It is the clearest description in Sahih al-Bukhari of this physical sign. 1
