He^asws said: ‘They spoke the truth’. I said, ‘So would it befit us that we do it’. He^asws said: ‘They (people) are wearing rings in the right hand and you all are wearing rings in the left hand’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I was silent, so he^asws said: ‘Do you know what was the engraving in the ring of Adam^as?’ So I said, ‘No’. So he^asws said: ‘There is no god except for Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww’, and the engraving in the ring of the Prophet^saww was “Muhammad^saww Rasool-Allah^saww”; and the ring of Amir Amir Al-Momineen^asws was “Allah^azwj the King”; and the ring of Al-Hassan^asws was “The Honour is for Allah^azwj”, and the ring of Al-Husayn^asws was “Allah^azwj Fulfils His^azwj Command”, and Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws wore the ring of his^asws father^asws, and Abu Ja’far^asws the great wore the ring of his^asws grandfather Al-Husayn^asws, and the ring of Ja’far^asws was “Allah^azwj is my^asws Guardian and Protects me^asws from His^azwj creatures; and Abu Al-Hassan^asws the 1^st “Allah^azwj is Sufficient”; and Abu Al-Hassan^asws the 2^nd “Whatever Allah^azwj so Desires, there is no Strength except with Allah^azwj”’. And Al-Husayn Bin Khalid (the narrator) said, ‘And he^asws extended his^asws hand towards me and said: ‘My^asws ring is the ring of my^asws father^asws as well’.
