عَنْهُ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةِ الرَّأْيِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ فِي يَدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَصَّ عَقِيقٍ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الْفَصُّ فَقَالَ عَقِيقٌ رُومِيٌّ وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ تَخَتَّمَ بِالْعَقِيقِ قُضِيَتْ حَوَائِجُهُ .
4. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from certain persons of his people from Salih ibn ‘Uqbah from Fudayl ibn ‘Uthman from Rabi‘ah al-Ra’iy who has said the following: “Once on the hand of abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, I saw carnelian as the stone of the ring, and asked, ‘What is this stone?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is a Roman carnelian. The Messenger of Allah has said, “If one uses carnelian as his ring his wishes come true.’””
