2ـ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ لا تُحْرِقُوا الْقَرَاطِيسَ وَلَكِنِ امْحُوهَا وَحَرِّقُوهَا.
2. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from al-Washsha’ from ‘Abdullah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام saying, ‘Do not burn the papers, but wipe or wash them away and then you may burn them.’”
