7ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى مَوْلَى آلِ سَامٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) كَمْ كَانَ مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ كَانَ ثَلاثَةَ آلافٍ وَسِتَّمِائَةِ ذِرَاعٍ مُكَسَّراً.
