2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلاً يَسْأَلُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَقُولُ أَوَدُّكَ فَكَيْفَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَوَدُّنِي فَقَالَ امْتَحِنْ قَلْبَكَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَوَدُّهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَوَدُّكَ.
