8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ الطَّيَّارُ وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ هَذَا الَّذِي زِيدَ هُوَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا بَعْدُ مَسْجِدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه).
8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “Al-Tayyar once said to him (the Imam) عليه السلام, when I also was present, ‘This thing which is added, is it of Masjid? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is of Masjid, they still have not reached Masjid of Ibrahim and ‘Isma‘il, May Allah grant both of them favors.’”
