3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ لِسَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ وَالْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ شَرِّقَا وَغَرِّبَا فَلا تَجِدَانِ عِلْماً صَحِيحاً إِلا شَيْئاً خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ.
