10ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنِ الْخَيْبَرِيِّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَوْ لا أَنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى خَلَقَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لِفَاطِمَةَ مَا كَانَ لَهَا كُفْوٌ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الارْضِ مِنْ آدَمَ وَمَنْ دُونَهُ.
10. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from al-Khaybari from Yunus ibn Zabyan who has said the following. “I heard abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام say, ‘Had Allah not created Amir al-Mu’minin Ali عليه السلام for Fatima, there would been no match on earth for her from Adam to the end.”
