حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ الثُّمَالِیِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع مَا أَدْنَی النَّصْبِ فَقَالَ أَنْ یَبْتَدِعَ الرَّجُلُ شَیْئاً فَیُحِبَّ عَلَیْهِ وَ یُبْغِضَ عَلَیْهِ.
