It has been reported on the authority of Imam Reza (AS):  
*           *  
320.  “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 (AS) along with a slave of governor passed by him.  Imam Reza (AS) said:  
*        *  
321.  “Give him a ring with agate.”  The associates did so.  They realized that man was never harmed in his life.  Imam Reza (AS) said:  
*          *  
322.  “Having agate with you in trip, will safeguard you.”  
  It has also been related on the authority of Imam Reza (AS)  
*          *  
323.  “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 (SAW) and I believe in their leadership, God will keep him safe on that day from the earthly and heavenly evils and keep him under His own protection and keep him under His own protection till night.”  
  Amiralmomenin (AS) says:  
*        *  
324.  “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 (SAW) complaining of highwaymen.  The Holy Prophet (SAW) said:  
*      *  
325.  “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 Moses’ invocations in Mount Sinai and said:  
*        *  
326.  “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:  
*        *  
327.  “Performing two Rak’at of prayer with a ring of agate is equal to a thousand Rak’at without it.” 
*        *  
328.  “It is good to look at a ring with turquoise on which there is inscription, Allah is the King.  Turquoise originally comes from paradise and Gabriel brought it for the Messenger of  Allah as a gift and the Holy Prophet too gave it to Amiralmomenin as a gift.  In Arabic it is called Zofr.”  
  Amiralmomenin (AS) said:  
*         *  
329.  “Wear a ring of black and white, for, it reverts Satan’s tricks.”  
  Imam Ali (AS) also said:  
*          *  
330.  “Wearing a ring set with emerald will ease affairs and entails no hardship.  A ring set with agate remove poverty.”  
*         *  
331.  “A ring set with crystal is good.”
