The Imam asked the Prophet as to whom the Muqarrabeen were, to which the Prophet replied Janabe Jibreel and Janabe Mikaiel. Then the Imam inquired as to which stone he should wear. The prophet replied Aqeeq (cornelian), as this red stone had accepted the Oneness of Allah, the Prophethood of the lat Prophet, and the vicegerency of Ali ibne Abi Talib.

Why Wear Feroza.
Feroza is a beautiful stone which is found in Tibet, China, Australia, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Turkistan, Afghanistan, but the best has been mined in Iran (formerly known as Persia) for over 5000 years in Ali-Mersai mountain range of Nishapur, Mashhad of Khorasan province.
Tradition states the mines of Nishapur, in northeastern Iran, described in 1300 AD as having belonged to Isaac ,son of Abraham .
In Iran, Feroza is called “Ferozah”, which translated means “victory”. It is Iran’s national gemstone. It is believed that the first specimens of Feroza to which the Europeans were exposed probably came from Iran via trading posts in Turkey. The best of Iranian Feroza is rich blue, with less matrix than most Feroza mined elsewhere. It is also distinguished by white patches. Feroza is never a hard mineral, but Iranian Feroza is usually harder than Feroza mined in other locations.
The Persians classified Feroza into three quality groups:
· Angushtari. This is first quality, suitable for the finest jewelry. These stones had the rich blue “Persian Feroza” color with little marking or matrix.
· Barkhaneh. This is second-quality Feroza, much like Angushtari but with more markings and matrix.
· Arabi. These stones were considered third-rate due to a pale blue or green shade or unwanted speckles. (Spots in Persian Feroza tend to be white, not black.)
The benefits of Feroza:
It helps to create joy in the heart. It helps improve eyesight, the brain & the heart. Feroza gives strength to the eyes, expands the breast, and strengthens the heart. Whenever a momin goes for some work with Feroza ring on his finger, his work is done. The great philosopher, Aristotle, said Feroza helps to create humbleness & pity for others and is good for diabetics. It protects from the stings of scorpions, snakebites, lightening & drowning.

The imam told him to wear a ring with Feroza set in it with the following inscription: ‘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.
