The Ornaments

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of children; if they can use gold as ornaments. He (the Imam) said that Ali ibn al-Husayn, (a.s.) allowed his children and women to use gold and silver as ornaments.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of children; if they can use gold as ornaments. He (the Imam) said, ‘My father (a.s.), allowed his children and women to use gold and silver as ornaments, so it is not unlawful.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about women’s using gold and silver as ornaments. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Nad (the end of the sheath) al-Qa’imah (the handle) of the sword of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, was of silver and in between there were rings of silver. I once wore the armor of the Messenger of Allah and I trailed it on the ground. It had three rings of silver, one in front and two on the back.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not unlawful to decorate the sword with gold and silver.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The sword of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, was decorated with gold and silver, as well as its Qa’imah (handle) and Qiba‘ (hilt).”’

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not unlawful to decorate al-Musahaf (Quran and books) and swords with gold and silver.’”

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Women can continue wearing ornaments.’” Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad from Aban from Muhammad ibn Muslim from abu Ja‘far (a.s.), a similar Hadith.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, wore the ring on his left hand which was of gold then he appeared among people who continued staring at it. He (the Messenger of Allah) placed his right hand on the pinky (little finger) of his left hand until he returned home; then threw it and did not wear it again.’” From abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), a narration, similar to the above Hadith, is also made by a number of our people from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Washsha’, from al-Muthanna’, from Hatim ibn ’Isma‘il.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a bed which has gold in it; if it is proper to keep it in the house. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful if it is golden; but if it is gold then it is not lawful.’”
