7 وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَلَكاً يَهْبِطُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَهُ ثَلَاثُ مَثَاقِيلَ مِسْكٍ مِنْ مِسْكِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَطْرَحُهَا فِي الْفُرَاتِ وَ مَا مِنْ نَهَرٍ فِي مَشْرِقٍ وَ لَا فِي مَغْرِبٍ [فِي شَرْقٍ وَ لَا غَرْبٍ] أَعْظَمُ بَرَكَةً مِنْهُ
