12ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ أَجِيزُوا لأَهْلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ عَثَرَاتِهِمْ وَاغْفِرُوهَا لَهُمْ فَإِنَّ كَفَّ الله تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمْ هَكَذَا وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ كَأَنَّهُ يُظِلُّ بِهَا شَيْئاً.
