19 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ إِسْحاق الطَّالِقانِيُّ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدُ مَوْلى‏ بَنِي هاشِم، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ الحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ فضال عَنْ أَبيهِ قالَ سَأَلْت الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن بِسْمِ اللَّهِ قالَ مَعْنى‏ قَوْلَ القائل بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، أيُّ أسم عَلَى نَفْسِي بسمة من سمات اللَّه عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هي العبودية قالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ ما السمة قالَ العلامة.
