3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الأوَّلِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَ سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأوَّلَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَحَالُهُ حَالُهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُفَقِّهَهُمْ.

He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, willed to give them (people) proper understanding?”
