سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ فَكَرِهَهُمَا فَقُلْتُ قَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) مِرْآةٌ مُلَبَّسَةٌ فِضَّةً فَقَالَ لَا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ لَهَا حَلْقَةٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَ هِيَ عِنْدِي ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ حِينَ عُذِرَ عُمِلَ لَهُ قَضِيبٌ مُلَبَّسٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ مَا يُعْمَلُ لِلصِّبْيَانِ تَكُونُ فِضَّتُهُ نَحْواً مِنْ عَشَرَةِ دَرَاهِمَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَكُسِرَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, form Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> about vessels of gold and silver. So he<sup>asws</sup> disliked them. So I said, ‘Some of our companions had reported that there used to be a mirror for Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> clad is silver?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, and the Praise is for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! But rather, for it was a ring of silver, and it is in my<sup>asws</sup> possession’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When Al-Abbas was circumcised, a silver-coated stick was made for him, approximately what is normally made for the children, its silver happened to be or approximately ten Dirhams. So Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> ordered for it to be broken’.
