He brought two loaves of bread for him. Abu Dharr picked them up and looked at the back of them. Salman asked him, “Why did you do that?” Abu Dharr replied, “I wanted to make sure that they have not been baked incorrectly.” Salman got terribly angry and said, “How dare you pick at the bread to see if it is well-baked or not? I swear by God that the water under the Throne has been used in their baking. The angels have worked to make that water reach the winds. The wind has moved it to the clouds. The clouds have worked to send it to the Earth. Thunder and lightning have also been instrumental in this. Also the angels have worked to spread it over the right places on the Earth. The Earth has also worked on it. Wood, iron, animals, fire, firewood, salt and many other things which I did not mention have been at work to make this bread. How can you be grateful for this bread?” Then Abu Dharr said, “I shall repent to God and ask him to forgive me for what I have said. I also apologize to you for what I did which you disliked.” It has also been narrated that Salman invited Abu Dharr to his house and brought him one loaf of dry bread and wet it with some water from his jar. Abu Dharr said, “How nice it would be if there was some salt to eat with this bread.” Then Salman got up and went out. He pawned his jar to borrow some salt and took it to Abu Dharr. Abu Dharr took some of the bread, put some salt on it, ate it and said, “All praise be to God that made us content with our share of daily bread!” Then Salman told him, “If you were content I would not have had to pawn my jar!”

Again, woe be to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!’ He (a.s.) replied, “The Honorable the Exalted God says, ‘You became distant from the good of this world. You will also become distant from the good of the Hereafter.’”

31-206 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ali al-Kufi, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Abil Aqeeb al-Sayrafi, on the authority of Al-Husayn ibn Khalid al-Sayrafi, “I asked Abil Hassan Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.), ‘What is the decree about one who cleanses himself (after defecation) while wearing a ring with the slogan There is no god but God (La illaha illallah) marked on it?’ The Imam (a.s.) replied, ‘It is an abominable act.’Al-Husayn ibn Khalid al-Sayrafi asked, ‘May I be your ransom! Is it not so that God’s Prophet (S) and your forefathers did this while wearing their rings?’ The Imam (a.s.) replied, ‘Yes. But they wore their rings on their right hand.’ Then the Imam (a.s.) added, ‘Fear God and take care of yourself.’Al-Husayn ibn Khalid al-Sayrafi asked the Imam (a.s.), ‘What was the mark on the ring of the Commander of the Faithful?’ The Imam (a.s.) said, ‘Why don’t you ask about that of the people before him?’Then Al-Husayn ibn Khalid al-Sayrafi said, ‘O.K. Now I will ask. What was marked on the ring of Adam (a.s.)?’ The Imam (a.s.) replied, ‘It was There is no god but God. Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Adam descended to Earth with that ring. When Noah (a.s.) was about to board the Ark, the Honorable the Exalted God revealed to him, ‘O Noah! If you fear that you will be drowned say There in no god but Allah one-thousand times and then ask me to rescue you from getting drowned and save those who are with you.’ When Noah and the people with him climbed aboard the Ark and he released the cable, it became stormy. Noah feared to get drowned when the storm got stronger. He did not have enough time to say There is no god but God one-thousand times. So in the Soriani language he said, Haylolia hizar hizar ya marya, ya marya, ayqen meaning Haylolia a thousand times, a thousand times. O Waves! Calm down! The waves calmed down and the Ark came to a steady condition. Noah (a.s.) said, ‘Now that the Words of God have saved me, they deserve to never be separated from me.’ Thus he put down There is no god but God a thousand times O Lord! Improve me.The Imam (a.s.) added, ‘When Abraham (a.s.) was placed on the catapult Gabriel got angry. The Honorable the Exalted God sent him a revelation and asked, ‘O Gabriel! What made you angry?’ Gabriel said, ‘O Lord! This is Your friend! There is no one else on the Earth who worships you. Now You have let Your enemy and his overcome him (Abraham).’ Then the Honorable the Exalted God revealed to Gabriel, ‘Relax! Rushing is for someone like you who is scared of death. But as for Me, I consider him to be My savant and can attend to him whenever I wish.’ Thus Gabriel’s (a.s.) soul calmed down and went to Abraham (a.s.) and said, ‘Do you need anything?’ Abraham (a.s.) said, ‘Nothing but good for you.’ Then the Honorable the Exalted God sent Gabriel down to him with a ring on which it was written There is no god but God. Muhammad is the Messenger of God. There is no power nor any strength save by God. I entrust my affairs to God. I rely on God. God suffices for me. God sent him a message which said, ‘Put on this ring and I will make the fire cool and healthy for you.’ The Imam (a.s.) added, ‘There were two statements from the Old Testament on Moses’ ring meaning, Persevere to get rewarded. Tell the truth to be saved. The Imam (a.s.) added, ‘That which was marked on Solomon’s ring means, Glorified is He who controlled the genies with His words. And the following taken from the Bible wasinscribed on Jesus’ ring, Prosperous be the one whom God makes him remember his death. Woe be to one whom God makes him forget his death. That which was marked on Muhammad’s (a.s.) ring was, There is no god but God. Muhammad is God’s Messenger. That which was marked on the Commander of the Faithful’s ring means, Sovereignty is for God. That which was marked on Al-Hassan ibn Ali’s ring means, Honor is for God. That which was marked on Al-Husayn’s (a.s.) ring means, God will carry out His affairs. That which was marked on Ali ibn Al-Husayn’s ring was the same as that which was marked on his father Al-Husayn’s ring. That which was marked on Muhammad ibn Ali’s ring was the same as that which was marked on Al-Husayn’s ring. That which was marked on Ja’far ibn Muhammad’s ring means, God is my Master and He guards me against His creatures. That which was marked on Abil Hassan Musa ibn Ja’far’s ring means, God suffices for me.Al-Husayn ibn Khalid said, “Abul Hassan Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) opened up his hand and showed me his father’s ring that was in his hand and what was marked on it.”In another tradition it has been narrated that ‘Khazeya Wa Shaqeya Qatil Al-Husayn ibn Ali’ was marked on Ali ibn Al-Husayn’s ring which means ‘the murderer of Al-Husayn - the son of Ali (a.s.) - is contemptuous and miserable.’

207 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي‏ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدِ بْنِعَبْدِ اللَّه قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبي الخَطَّاب عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَسْباط قالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَحْدُثَ عَنْ آبائِهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ أَن رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ قالَ: لَمْ يَبْقَ مِن أَمثالِ الأَنْبِياءِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ إِلاّ قَوْلَ النَّاسِ: إِذا لَمْ تَستَحِي فَاصنَع ما شِئتَ.

He is the maintainer of My religion. Immaculate Leaders will be born from his progeny who will adhere to My rules and invite (the people) to My way. I will fend off calamities from my servants and maids and through them I will descend My Mercy.’”
