14ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ وَثَعْلَبَةَ رَفَعُوهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله وَأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ أَوْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيهِما السَّلام) قَالَ كَثْرَةُ الْمِزَاحِ تَذْهَبُ بِمَاءِ الْوَجْهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الضَّحِكِ تَمُجُّ الإيمَانَ مَجّاً.
