16ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عُبَيْسِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ الرُّمَّانِيُّ عَنْ فَيْضِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَعِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله إِذْ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى وَهُوَ غُلامٌ فَالْتَزَمْتُهُ وَقَبَّلْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله أَنْتُمُ السَّفِينَةُ وَهَذَا مَلاحُهَا قَالَ فَحَجَجْتُ مِنْ قَابِلٍ وَمَعِي أَلْفَا دِينَارٍ فَبَعَثْتُ بِأَلْفٍ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله وَأَلْفٍ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ يَا فَيْضُ عَدَلْتَهُ بِي قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِقَوْلِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَالله مَا أَنَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بَلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَعَلَهُ بِهِ.
