Therefore, according to Imam Ja'far-e-Sadiq (a.

Therefore, according to Imam Ja'far-e-Sadiq (a.s.), the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to wear a silver ring. According to another tradition, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) asked men not to wear an iron ring while praying and strictly prohibited wearing of brass ring. The advantages of Aqiq (Cornelian): According to a reliable tradition from Hazrat Ali Reza (a.s.), Aqiq takes away poverty and dissolves difference from one's heart.

According to Imam Ja'far-e-Sadiq (a.s.), Aqiq brings safety while travelling. Advantages of Yakoot (Ruby), Zaberjaa (Jade) and Zamarrud (Emerald): According to three reliable traditions from Imam Ali Al-Reza (a.s.), wearing the ring of yakoot (ruby) stops worries and according to Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.), it eases difficulties.

In another tradition Imam Reza (a.s.) has used the same words about the ring of Zaberjad (Jade) and also stated that the emerald ring turns poor into rich and that whosoever wears the ring set in yellow ruby (yakoot) will never become poor. Advantages of Turquoise (Feroza) and Jaz-e-Yamani: According to Imam Ja'far-e-Sadiq (a.s.), whosoever wears a turquoise ring will never become dependent.

According to Hasan Ibne Ali Ibne Mehran, when he visited Hazrat Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.), he saw a ring on his finger set in with feroza (turquoise) having been engraved thus: Allah, Master of the kingdom. While he kept standing, the Imam (a.s.) asked what he was looking at? When Hasan replied, the Imam (a.s.) further questioned whether he recognized that engraving?

Hasan replied in the negative and the Imam (a.s.) said that this stone was brought by Jibrael as a gift to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) from heaven and the Holy Prophet gave it to Hazrat Ali (a.s.) and it has reached him from his Holy ancestors in line. According to Imam Ali Reza (a.s.), Hazrat Ali (a.s.) has stated that once the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) came out of his house wearing a ring of Jaz-e-Yamani and attended the congregation with them.

After completing his prayer, he gave the ring to Hazrat Ali (a.s.) and asked him to have it on his right hand while he prayed, as prayer with Jaz-e-Yamani is equal to seventy prayers without it. The stone is always praying and pronouncing ‘La ilaha illal'lah and Subhanallah’, and its reward reaches the wearer of the ring. Ali ibne Mohammad Zumairi states that he married the daughter of Ja'far ibne Mahmood and loved her a lot but had no children from her.

He went to Hazrat Imam Ali-un-Naqi (a.s.) and stated his request.
