7ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِذَا كَثُرَ النَّاسُ بِجَمْعٍ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُونَ قَالَ يَرْتَفِعُونَ إِلَى الْمَأْزِمَيْنِ.
7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn and a number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad all from ibn abu Basir from Sanaa ‘ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, ‘What happens if Jam‘ cannot accommodate all people?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘They can go higher to al-Mazemin.’”
