2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْفَقِيهُ ثُلِمَ فِي الاسْلامِ ثُلْمَةٌ لا يَسُدُّهَا شَيْءٌ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from one of his people that Abu ‘Abdillah (al-Sadiq) عليه السلام said: “When a believer who is a Faqih dies, it causes irreparable damage in the Islamic system."
