Hadith 56

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Ahmar, from Al-Hassan Bin Sahl, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Mihran who said, ‘I entered to see Abu Al-Hassan Al-Musa-asws and in his-asws hand was a ring, its stone was Turquoise, its engraving was: ‘Allah-azwj is the King’. I deliberated the looking at it. He-asws said: ‘What is the matter with you constantly looking at it? ’ I said, ‘It has reached me that for Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws was a ring, its tone was turquoise, its engraving was: ‘Allah-azwj is the King’’. He-asws said: ‘Do you recognise it? ’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘This is it! Do you know what its reason was? ’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘This stone was gifted by Jibraeel-as to Rasool-Allah-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww gifted it to Amir Al-Momineen-asws. Do you know what its name is? ’ I said, ‘Al- Feyrouzaj’ (Turquoise)’. He-asws said: ‘This is in Persian. So, what is its name in Arabic? ’ I said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Its name is Al-Zafar’’. [97]
