Stone converting into red ruby

It is mentioned in traditional reports that Umme Salim came to meet Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and inquired from him the signs of rightful divine Caliphate.

His Eminence placed his seal on it and its effect left an imprint on the stone. Then he said: Whoever does like me is my successor.
