The Ring Of Lion Of God Imam Hazart Ali A.S.
It is sunnah muakkadah for men & women to wear a ring/ rings on the right hand. There are several hadiths from our Imams recommending us to wear rings containing aqeeq & feeroza.Some of these are:
Ma`adh has narrated on the authority of Imam `Ali
The one who wears an aqeeq ring, God grants him (literally: seals for him) the peace (al-amn) and faith.
Imam `Ali
Wear aqeeq on your rings, you will be blessed and will be saved from afflictions.
`Abul Mu'min al-Ansaaree reports that: " I heard Abu `Abdillah (Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq
'The hands that wears Firoza will not see poverty.' "

Hilyatul Muttaqin, by Majlisi, chapter #2, page #14:
Janabe Salman Farsi states that the Prophet
The Imam Reza
The Shia will be identified by these symbols:
•having the ring on the right hand
•praying 5 times a day at the right timings
•giving Zakat
•distributing among his religious brothers his belongings
•ordering good actions & keeping people away from evil
One should recite the following Dua, while wearing a ring.
'O Allah, let the signs of faith be the cause of my recognition.
Let my end be worthwhile and let there be good for me even in the world to come.
It is well-known that Thou are All Mighty, All Wise and All Generous.'
It is sunnat to have a silver ring. Wearing an iron, steel or brass ring is makrooh for both men & women. Therefore, according to Imam Ja'far Sadiq

Someone visited Imam Reza

'Lil Lahil Mulko' - Allah, Master of the Kingdom. (3:189).
As the person continued to stare, the Imam

Imam Reza
his house with a ring of jaze yamani, while on their way to attend the Jamaat
prayers. After the prayers, the Prophet
him to have it on his right hand while he prayed, as a prayer with jaze yamani
is equal to 70 prayers without it. The stone is always praying & reciting
'La Illaha Illalah' & 'Subhanallah', and its rewards reaches the one who
wears it.
Someone had married but no children were conceived. The person went to Imam Muhammad Taqi
'O My Lord! Leave me not alone (without an issue) though Thou are the best of
heirs.' (21:89)
Before the year ended, they were blessed with a son from the same wife.

Imam Ja'far Sadiq
Imam Ali
1.Yakoot is the best.
2.Aqiq as it is a stone which has affection for Allah & the Ahle Bayt
3.Firoza gives strength to the eyes, expands the breast & strengthens the heart. Whenever a momin goes for some work with firoza ring on his finger, his work is done.
4.Hadeed Cheeni should also be worn but not always. Only when one is afraid of some mischief then he should visit that environment with this ring, as it keeps the devil away.
5.Durre Najaf, which is found only in Najaf. When a person wears a ring of durre Najaf, at his every glance towards it, Allah gives him the reward of Ziyarat, Hajj & Umrah, which are kept in his record of action. The reward is equal to the rewards of the Prophets & the pious.
When Hazrat Ibrahim
" There is no god but one Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,
thereis no power and strength except with Allah, the Grand, the Great:
I entrust my affairs unto Allah - Sufficient is for me Allah."
Allah then revealed to him that he should wear the ring which will cool the
fire.

'There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.'

On Imam Hasaan
'Al Izzato Lil Lahe - Verily, All honor (as a whole) belong (only) to Allah.' (4:139)
On the Imam Hussain
'Innal Laha Baligho Amrehi - Verily Allah accomplishes His purpose' (65:3)
Imam Zain-al-abideen
Imam Ja'far Sadiq
'Allaho Waliyi Wa Ismati Min Khalqehi - Allah is my Master and He will safeguard me from His creatures.'
Imam Moosa Kazim
'Hasbeyal Laho - Sufficient for me is Allah.' (9:129).
Imam Muhammad Baqir
According to another Imam

'MUHAMMADAN NABI YUL LAHE, WA ALIYUN WALI YUL LAHE'
Allah will then keep him from a horrible death, and he will remain on his faith.
Another etiquette of prayer is to put on a ring of firozeh &/or aqiq; it has been reported that Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted) has said:
"I feel ashamed to reject the supplication of a supplicant having a ring of Turquoise or Red Chalcedony upon his fingers."
Also Imam Ja' far Sadiq
"A hand with a Turquoise or Red-chalcedony ring raised in prayer is dearer before Allah than any other hand."
Imam Ali
•one of ruby (Yaqut) for beauty and dignity
•the second of Turquoise (Firuza) for obtaining Divine help and victory
•the third of Hadid Chini for strength
•the fourth of Aqiq to protect himself against enemies and all types of misfortunes
From a tradition from Bashir Dahhan
If a Shia wears a ring of even one of the three aqias, he will derive its benefits, his sustencance (rizq) will be increased, and he will be protected from dangers, disasters, misfortunes & accidents. It will also be a protection for him in frightening & terrifying circumstances, like facing the oppression of a tyrant.
It is highly commendable to wear a ring on the right hand, although some traditions do allow the ring to be worn on the left also. However, if the ring has any precious stone set in it, or has any holy engravings on it, it should be removed before going to the toilet or engaging in any activities where one's ritual purity will be affected.
It is best to get one with a "7irz" (amulet) of the 14 Infallibles on it. Obviously the best one is the Yemeni stone, as mentioned here, which is a very dark red ("liver coloured"). This ring guards and protects the dead person in his grave if it is put in his mouth (?) when he dies.
Imam Ali
"Do not talk about knowledge with the foolish so that they deny you, nor with the ignorant so that they find you oppressive, but talk about it with those of its people whom you meet who will accept it and understand it.
Imam Ja'far Sadiq
"There is no hand more beloved than one wearing a ring with agate raised towards God."
It has been reported on the authority of Imam Reza
"Whoever wears a ring with an agate on it, firstly he will not become needy and secondly, what God has destined for him, will be good."
One day one of the associates of Imam Reza
"Give him a ring with agate." The associates did so. They realized that man was never harmed in his life. Imam Reza
"Having agate with you in trip, will safeguard you."
It has also been related on the authority of Imam Reza
"Whoever wears a ring with agate in his right hand, if he reverts the agate toward the palm of his hand in the morning before any one sees him, and recites the Quranic Chapter, Qadr and then say: I believe in Allah who has no partner, and deny other god, but I believe in what is hidden from and manifest to the progeny of Mohammad
Imam Ali
"Wear a ring with agate so that God will give you blessings and you will be safe from evils."
A man came to the Holy Prophet
"Why weren't you wearing a ring with agate? This ring will safeguard man from all evil. Whoever wears a ring with agate will end up in god as long as he is wearing that ring and God will protect him forever. Whoever makes a ring with agate and the inscription: Mohammad, Messanger of Allah and Ali, friend of Allah, God will keep him from bad death and he will die a believer. No hand raised towards Allah is more beloved than a hand wearing a ring of agate. Should a man wearing a ring of agate draw lots, he will have a lion's share."
God created agate following prophet Moosa
"By Myself, I will not punish with Fire a hand wearing a ring of agate provided he believes in the leadership of Ali."
God has said:
"Performing two Rak'at of prayer with a ring of agate is equal to a thousand Rak'at without it."
