2ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَسْبَاطِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلَ الْهَيْثَمُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَعَلاماتٍ وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) النَّجْمُ وَالْعَلامَاتُ هُمُ الائِمَّةُ (عَلَيْهم السَّلام )
2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from MuAlia ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Asbat ibn Salim who has said that Haythamm asked Imam abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام, while I was there, about the meaning of the words of Allah, “Through the signs and with the star people do find their way.” (16:16) The Imams عليه السلام said, “Star is the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the signs are the Imams عليه السلام”
