1 hadith أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَهُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أُمَیَّهَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ یَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ عَرَفَ فَضْلَ شَیْخٍ کَبِیرٍ فَوَقَّرَهُ لِسِنِّهِ آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَزَعِ یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ وَ قَالَ مِنْ تَعْظِیمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِجْلَالُ ذِی الشَّیْبَهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ.
