5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَعْنِي الرِّضَا لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ السَّكِينَةُ عِنْدَكُمْ فَقَالَ لا أَدْرِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ هِيَ قَالَ رِيحٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ طَيِّبَةٌ لَهَا صُورَةٌ كَصُورَةِ وَجْهِ الإِنْسَانِ فَتَكُونُ مَعَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَهِيَ الَّتِي نَزَلَتْ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) حَيْثُ بَنَى الْكَعْبَةَ فَجَعَلَتْ تَأْخُذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَبَنَى الأَسَاسَ عَلَيْهَا. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ السَّكِينَةِ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal who has said the following: “Once, abu al-Hassan, al-Rida , asked al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm, ‘What in your view is al-Sakinah?’ He replied, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. I do not know. What is it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is an air that comes from paradise. It is very fine and it has a face like the face of man. It existed with prophets. It descended to Ibrahim when he was building al- Ka‘bah. It began to take this and that and thus, the foundation was built on it.’”
