حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ الْبَغْدَادِيُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ الْجَعْدِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص النُّجُومُ أَمَانٌ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَمَانٌ لِأُمَّتِي.
