2- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا ابْنِ آدَمَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ الَّذِي يَطْلُبُ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَا يَكُفُّ بِهِ عِيَالَهُ أَعْظَمُ أَجْراً مِنَ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
