21ـ إِسْحَاقُ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ يَوْماً وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ مَا أَصُوغُ بِهِ خَاتَماً أَتَبَرَّكُ بِهِ فَجَلَسْتُ وَأُنْسِيتُ مَا جِئْتُ لَهُ فَلَمَّا وَدَّعْتُ وَنَهَضْتُ رَمَى إِلَيَّ بِالْخَاتَمِ فَقَالَ أَرَدْتَ فِضَّةً فَأَعْطَيْنَاكَ خَاتَماً رَبِحْتَ الْفَصَّ وَالْكِرَاءَ هَنَأَكَ الله يَا أَبَا هَاشِمٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ وَلِيُّ الله وَإِمَامِيَ الَّذِي أَدِينُ الله بِطَاعَتِهِ فَقَالَ غَفَرَ الله لَكَ يَا أَبَا هَاشِمٍ.
21. Ishaq has narrated from abu Hashim al-Ja‘fari who has said the following. “One day I went to see abu Muhammad عليه السلام and I wanted him to give me a certain amount of silver so I can make a ring out of it and keep for blessing. I sat down but forgot to ask what I had come for. When was leaving and said farewell to him he threw a ring to me and said, “You wanted silver and we gave you and profited the gems and the cost of the goldsmith works. May Allah grant you blessings O abu Hashim.” I then said, “I testify that you are the Wali of Allah, (one who possesses Divine Authority) and my Imam through my obedience whom I follow the religion of Allah.” He then said, “May Allah grant you forgiveness, O abu Hashim.”
