The Ruby and Emerald

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا وَ هُوَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ وَ يُلَقَّبُ سِكْبَاجَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ صَاحِبِ الْأَنْزَالِ وَ كَانَ يَقُومُ بِبَعْضِ أُمُورِ الْمَاضِي ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ لِي يَوْماً وَ أَمْلَى عَلَيَّ مِنْ كِتَابٍ التَّخَتُّمُ بِالزُّمُرُّدِ يُسْرٌ لَا عُسْرَ فِيهِ .
