1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ أُتِيَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ سَبُعاً مِنَ سِبَاعِ الطَّيْرِ عَلَى الْكَعْبَةِ لَيْسَ يَمُرُّ بِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ حَمَامِ الْحَرَمِ إِلاَّ ضَرَبَهُ فَقَالَ انْصِبُوا لَهُ وَاقْتُلُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَلْحَدَ.
