Red Yellow And White Aqeeq

The scholar Abu Mohammad Hasan bin Husain bin Babeweyh narrated from the blessed scholar Abu Jaafar Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Tousi. from Shaykh Al-Mufid Abu Abdillah Mohammad bin Mohammad bin No‟man Al-Harethi, from Abul Hasan Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Hasan, from his father, from Mohammad bin Yahya Al-Attar, from Hasan bin Musa Al-Khashnb, from Ali bin No‟man, from Basheer Al-Dahhan, who said:

I asked Abi Jaafar Mohammad bin Ali (a.s.) (a.s.), “What kind of a stone should I use for my ring?”

He replied:

Red Aqeeq, yellow Aqeeq, or white Aqeeq because these three mountains are in Paradise. The mountain of red Aqeeq overlooks the house of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.), the mountain of yellow Aqeeq overlooks the house of Fatema (sa), and the mountain of white Aqeeq overlooks the house of Ali bin Abi Taleb (a.s.), and these three houses are one house.

Three rivers run from under the three mountains of Aqeeq. Their water is colder than ice, sweeter than honey, and whiter than milk. No one except Mohammad (s.a.w.a.), his family, and their Shia can drink from these rivers.

All three rivers start from the river of Kawthar and run to the same estuary.

The three mountains of Aqeeq sanctify, glorify, and praise Allah, and seek forgiveness for those who love the family of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.).

So those Shia who wear Aqeeq will see nothing but good and blessings in their sustenance and health, and they will be protected from all troubles.

Aqeeq protects Shia from unjust rulers and from everything else which causes fear.
