عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيْنَا خَاتَمَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ خَاتَمَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ كَانَ عَلَى خَاتَمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي فَاعْصِمْنِي مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ نَقْشُ خَاتَمِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ فِيهِ وَرْدَةٌ وَ هِلَالٌ فِي أَعْلَاهُ .
4. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Abu Nasr who has said the following: “I once was with Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ عليه السلام, and he (the Imam) showed us the ring of Abu ‘Abd Allah, and Abu al-Hassan عليه السلام. On the ring of Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, it said, ‘You are my trusty so protect me from people. ’ The engraving on the ring of Abu al- Hassan عليه السلام, said, ‘Allah is sufficient for me’ and there was a flower and a crescent on its upper part.’”
