مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) عَنْ ذِي الْفَقَارِ سَيْفِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ نَزَلَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ كَانَتْ حَلْقَتُهُ فِضَّةً.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Asheym, from Safwaan Bin Yahya who said: I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al-Ridha (a.s) about Zi Al-Fiqaar (Zulfiqaar), the sword of the Rasool Allah ﷺ. He (a.s) said: ‘Jibraeel (a.s) came down with it from the sky, and it hilt was made of silver’.
