Thawabul 'amaal wa aqaabul 'aamal

ثواب التختم بالعقيق

 Reward for the wearing of ring with the aqeeq

 

حدثني محمد بن الحسن قال حدثني محمد بن الحسن الصفار عن إبراهيم بن هاشم عن علي بن معبد عن الحسين بن خالد عن الرضا ع قال قال أبو عبد الله ع من اتخذ خاتما فصه عقيق لم يفتقر و لم يقض له إلا بالتي هي أحسن

Told me Muhammad b. al Hasan who said: Told me Muhammad b. al Hasan al Saffar from Ibrahim b. Hashim from Ali b. Mu'bad from al Hussain b. Khalid from al Redha (as) who said: Said abu Abdullah (as): "Whoever takes (wears) a ring, stone of it is aqeeq, would not face poverty/hardship and would not have fulfillment of his wish except by (the manner) which is best.

 

أبي (رهـ ) قال حدثني سعد بن عبد الله عن يعقوب بن يزيد عن إبراهيم بن عقبة عن سيابة بن أيوب عن محمد بن الفضل عن عبد الرحيم القصير قال بعث الوالي إلى رجل من آل أبي طالب في جناية فمر بأبي عبد الله ع فقال أتبعوه بخاتم عقيق قال فأتبع بخاتم عقيق فلم ير مكروها

حدثني محمد بن علي ماجيلويه عن عمه محمد بن أبي القاسم عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله عن أبي جنوب عن أبيه عن عمر بن المقدام عن أبي جعفر ع قال مر به رجل مجلود فقال أين كان خاتمه العقيق أما إنه لو كان عليه ما جلد و روي في حديث آخر قال أبو عبد الله ع العقيق حرز في السفر

حدثني علي بن أحمد بن عبد الله عن أبيه عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله عن الحسن بن موسى عن الحسين بن يحيى عن الحسين بن مزيد عن أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عن أبيه عن آبائه عن أمير المؤمنين ع قال تختموا بالعقيق يبارك الله عليكم و تكونوا في أمن من البلاء

و بهذا الإسناد قال شكا رجل إلى رسول الله ص أنه قطع عليه الطريق فقال له هلا تختمت بالعقيق فإنه يحرز من كل سوء و في حديث آخر قال أبو جعفر ع من تختم بالعقيق لم يزل ينظر الحسنى ما دام في يده و لم يزل عليه من الله عز و جل واقية

And from this chains of narration, [Imam (as)] said: "Complained a man to Rasool Allah (pbuh) that he (faced) severed upon him the road/route (i.e. felt helpless)." So [Prophet (pbuh)] to him: "Why do not you wear a ring with the aqeeq for indeed it protects from all evils." And in another hadith, said Abu Ja'far (as): "Whoever wore a ring with the aqeeq would continue seeing the good as long as (the aqeeq ring) is in his hand and would continue upon him from Allah (swt) protection."

حدثني محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل قال حدثني محمد بن يحيى العطار قال حدثني محمد بن أحمد عن علي بن الريان عن علي بن محمد بن إسحاق الشيباني رفعه إلى أبي عبد الله ع قال ما رفعت كف إلى الله عز و جل أحب إليه من كف فيها عقيق

  2. Wa'laikummus salam,

    Yes, in the same book (Thwabul 'aamal by Shaikh Sadooq) as well as other books such as Kafi, there are many ahadith on the merits of wearing Ferozaj (Feroza/Turquoise) as well as other rings such as Yaqoot (Ruby and Sapphire), Hadid Seeni (Chinese metal), Durr al Najaf, Biloor.

  4. Wa'laykummus salam,

    Our primary classical books, such as kutub al arba and rest of shaikh sadooq's extant books, do not mention any such thing (in general, they do mention istihbab of wearing it in right hand, but no mention of which finger).

    The latter unreliable books such as Tuhuful uqul (its author is unknown, latter scholars like hurr al amili have attributed it to ibn shu'ba al harani.There are strong evidences that ibn shuba al aharani was a Nusehri and as for the Nusehris they count ibn shuba al harani as a great scholar of their group) and makarimul akhlaq by Shaikh Tabrisi (in this book the author has not properly mentioned the sources and isnad, and often quotes from aami sources) mention karahah of wearing ring in index and middle finger, and recommend wearing it on the little finger.
