Husain ibne Khalid visited Imam Reza (a.s.) and asked him if it was permissible
to visit the toilet wearing a gem on which was engraved:
‘There is no God but Allah.’
The Imam (a.s.) replied that this act was good for no one. Husain further
asked if the Prophet and other ancestors did not visit the toilet with
the ring on. The Imam (a.s.) replied in the affirmative but also stated that
the ring was in the right hand and that Husain should stop defaming his
ancestors. Then Imam (a.s.) said that naqsh (engraving) on the gem of
Adam, which was brought from heaven, was thus:
‘There is no God but one Allah and Mohammed is the Messenger of
Allah.’
The engraving on the Prophet's ring was:
‘There is no God but Allah, Mohammed is the Messenger of Allah.’
The engraving on Hazrat Ali (a.s.)'s ring was:
‘Allah is Master of the kingdom.’
The engraving on Imam Hasan (a.s.)'s ring was:
‘Verily, All honour (as a whole) belongeth (only) to God.’
The engraving on Imam Husain (a.s.)'s ring was:
‘Verily God accomplisheth His purpose.’
The ring worn by Hazrat Ali ibnul Husain (a.s.) and Imam Mohammed
Baqir (a.s.) belonged to Imam Husain (a.s.).The engraving on the ring of Imam Ja'far-e-Sadiq (a.s.) was:
‘Allah is my master and He will safeguard me from His creatures.’
The engraving on the ring of Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) was:
‘Sufficient for me is Allah.’
After speaking about the engraving of Imam Ali Reza (a.s.), he put
forth his hand on which he was wearing the ring of his father.
According to the tradition from Syed Ibne Taoos (r.a.), a person visited
Imam Ja'far-e-Sadiq (a.s.) and said that he was scared of the ruler of Jazeerah
as his enemies had poisoned the ears of ruler and he may kill him.
The Imam (a.s.) ordered him to make a ring set in with a thick gem of
Hadeed Cheeni on one side of which the following three sentences
should be engraved:
‘I seek the refuge of the Mightiness of Allah. I seek the shelter of the
words of Allah. I seek the shelter of the Prophet of Allah.’
and at the back of the gem the following two lines should be engraved:
‘I have brought faith on Allah and his Books. I myself rely on Allah
and his Prophets.’ and further, the following should be engraved on all the four corners
of the gem:
‘I stand witness with all submission to there being no Creator except
Allah.’
When he will wear this ring all his difficulties will be solved; especially
he will not be afraid of the wicked. And if the ring is tied, women
will have an easy delivery and they will not be affected by any evil eye.
It is very important to protect this gem. Dirt should be kept away from it
and it should not be taken in bathroom or toilet as it contains the secrets
of God. Shias of Ahle Bait (a.s.) who are afraid of the enemy should keep
this ring dearer than life and hide it from their enemies and keep it a
secret except from those who are reliable. According to the traditionalist,
his experience proved what the Imam (a.s.) had said.
According to Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.), if a person possesses a
ring set in with Aqiq and turns it towards his palm and then looks at it
and recites the 97th chapter of the Holy Book (Sura Inna Anzalna):
‘In the name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful.
Verily, We sent it (The Quran) down in the night of Qadr! What can
make thee know what the night of Qadr is? The night of Qadr is better
than a thousand months. The Angels and the Spirit descend therein with
the permission of their Lord, with (decrees) of all affairs; Peace is (in the
whole night) till the breaking of the dawn!’
And recites this prayer:
‘I have brought faith on that One Allah who has no partner and I do
not believe in Jibl and Taghoot (idols)! And have also brought faith on
the beginning and the end, the visible and the invisible (aspects) of Mohammed
(s.a.w.a.) and Ale Mohammed (a.s.) whether their Imamat has
been declared or they are in their temporary disappearance. Mohammed
(s.a.w.a.) is the Prophet of Allah and Hazrat Ali (a.s.) is the Divine Vicegerent
of Allah.’
then God keeps him protected the whole day from trouble whether
they are descendent from heaven or earth and he will be protected till
the evening by God and God's friends will guide him.
According to another tradition, a person who makes a ring set in Aqiq
should have the following engraved on it so that God will protect him
from a bad death and he will die in his faith:
‘Mohammed (s.a.w.a.) is the Prophet of Allah and Hazrat Ali (a.s.) is
the Divine Vicegerent of Allah.’
