5ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ عَلَّمَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَلِيّاً (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَلْفَ حَرْفٍ كُلُّ حَرْفٍ يَفْتَحُ أَلْفَ حَرْفٍ.
