6ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ طَاهِرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِداً عِنْدَ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَأَقْبَلَ جَعْفَرٌ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) هَذَا خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ.
6. Ahmad ibn Mihran has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from Fudayl ibn ‘Uthman from who has said the following. “Once I was in the presence of abu Ja‘far عليه السلام that Ja‘far عليه السلام came. Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام said, “This (Ja‘far) is the best of the people.”
