BY: ZOLFIGARR The Seal of Solomon is on the Ring of the Mahdi a.s. Asalaam alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu,  Bismillahi AlRahman AlRaheem Thanks to the Ansari Sheikh Nathem AlUqaily, he gave a description of what the Seal of Solomon would look like from the Shia books. And this time the following hadiths will prove to you that the Seal of Solomon contains a Star of David, also according to the famous scholars brief descriptions. The Ring of the Prophet Muhammad (sawas): From Aban son of Uthman from Abi Abdullah (a.s): "When the demise of the Messenger of Allah (pbuhap) took place, Imam Ali (a.s) said, "I looked at him until he removed his ring and he said, "Wear this ring in my life."  He said, "I looked at it before I placed it in my finger, and so I wished with all what this ring left."  (AlKafi v.1 p.236)  Prince of the Believers (as) said: "When Omar (ibn Al Khattab) got killed he called them saying, 'I call you by Allah (swt) is there anybody who received inheritance of the weapon of the Messenger of Allah, his banner, and his ring other than me?' They said, 'No'."  (Basa'er AlDarajat p.202) from Hussein son of Musa son of Jaafer (pbut) he said: "I saw on the hand of Abi Jaafer Muhammad son of Ritha (pbut) a ring with a silver band so I said, 'Someone like you wears this! He said (as),'This is the ring of Solomon son of David (pbut)." (Mustadrak AlWasa'el v.3 p. 284) From Abi Jaafer (as), he said: "Prince of the believers exited out during a night and he was saying, 'Hamhama Hamhama, it is a dark night, the Imam (meaning Ali himself) has exited, wearing the shirt of Adam (as), on his hand is the ring of Solomon and the staff of Moses (as)" (AlKafi v.1 p.231-) And this ring can be the same one with a black ringstone that Imam AlSadeq (as) removed. Reported From Abdullah son of Sinan he said: Here we know that Imam Ali (as) was wearing the ring of Solomon which is the ring of the Prophet (sawas). Muhammad Al Jawad (as) was also wearing the ring of Solomon, "We mentioned about the ring of the Messenger of Allah (sawas) he said, 'Want me to show you?" He said, 'Yes', So he then took out the ring with cotton underneath it, with a silver band and has a black ringstone written on it Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (sawas) he said, 'The ringstone of the Prophet (sawas) was black." (Kafi v.6 p. 473-474)
