In the clear religion of Islam, many narrations and sources have been narrated from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) about the properties of the stone in Najaf and the use of this gem. Below, a few important cases of the properties of Najaf in the hadiths have been mentioned.
1- Regarding the properties of the stone in Najaf, it has been narrated from Mufaddal bin Omar who says that one day I went to the service of Imam Sadiq (a.s.) and I was wearing a turquoise ring. He said: O Mufaddal, turquoise is the place of the eyes of believing men and women and it turns away pain from their eyes. I like for every believer to have five rings on his hand: ruby, which is the most noble of all, agate, which is the purest for God and for us, the household of the Prophet, turquoise, which strengthens the eye, opens the chest, and increases the strength of the heart. When he goes to do something and takes it in his hand, his need will be fulfilled when he returns. And Chinese iron, and I do not like it to be always on his hand, but I do not find it bad to take it in his hand when he goes to see someone he fears, because his evil will be removed. And Chinese iron keeps the devils away, and for this reason I like to have it. The fifth is the stone of the door that God makes appear in the city of Najaf (the stone in Najaf), the most noble city of Iraq.
Indeed, whoever wears it, in any way, should write in his letter a pilgrimage to the Lord of the Worlds with a Hajj or Umrah, whose reward is equal to that of the prophets and the righteous. And if God had not had mercy on our Shiites, every mirror and every jewel would have been of great value, but God has made it cheap for them, so that the rich and the poor can afford it. (Wasael, Vol. 5, pp. 403-404)
