2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ الْتَفَتَ عَلِيُّ بن الحسين (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) إِلَى وُلْدِهِ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَوْتِ وَهُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا الصُّنْدُوقُ اذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ دِينَارٌ وَلا دِرْهَمٌ وَلَكِنْ كَانَ مَمْلُوءاً عِلْماً.
