أَمَرَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) فَعَمِلْتُ لَهُ دُهْناً فِيهِ مِسْكٌ وَ عَنْبَرٌ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَكْتُبَ فِي قِرْطَاسٍ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ أُمَّ الْكِتَابِ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ قَوَارِعَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ أَجْعَلَهُ بَيْنَ الْغِلَافِ وَ الْقَارُورَةِ فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِهِ فَتَغَلَّفَ بِهِ وَ أَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Moamar Bin Khallad who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> ordered me, so I made a flask for him<sup>asws</sup> in which was musk, and Amber. So he<sup>asws</sup> ordered me that I should write down in a paper the Verse of the Chair <a href="/#/books/quran:2#h255"><a href="/books/quran:2#h255">[2:255]</a></a>, and the Mother of the Book (<span class="iTxt">Surah Al-Fatiha</span>), and Al-<span class="iTxt">Mawazatain</span> (Chapters 113 & 114), and certain Verses from the Quran, and make these to be in between the covering and the flask. So I did it, then I came over to him<sup>asws</sup> with it, and he<sup>asws</sup> placed it in a covering, and I was looking at him<sup>asws</sup>’.
