Translation

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 went over to Abu Al-Hassan Musa^asws and in his^asws finger was a ring with a stone of turquoise with an engraving: ‘اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ’ “Allah^azwj the King”. So I deliberated looking at it, so he^asws said: ‘What is the matter with you, deliberately looking at it?’ So I said, ‘It has reached me that there was for Amir Al-Momineen^asws a ring with a stone of turquoise with an engraving: “Allah^azwj the King”’. So he^asws said: ‘Do you recognise it?’ I said, ‘No’. So he^asws said: ‘This is it. Do you know what is the reason for it?’ I said, ‘No’. He^asws said: ‘This is a stone gifted by Jibraeel^as to Rasool-Allah^saww, so Rasool-Allah^saww gifted it to Amir Al-Momineen^asws. Do you know what it’s name is?’ I said, ‘Turquoise’. He^asws said: ‘This is in Persian. So what is its name in Arabic?’ I said, ‘I do not know’. He^asws said: ‘Its name is Al-Zafar’.
