1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِ لا تَقُولُوا رَمَضَانَ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فَإِنَّكُمْ لا تَدْرُونَ مَا رَمَضَانُ.
