وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ اَلْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْجَبَّارِ عَنِ اَلْحَجَّالِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَجَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْوَفَاءِ اَلْمُرَادِيِّ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ مَمْشَى اَلْكِرَامِ اَلْكَاتِبِينَ فَلْيَمْشِ جَنْبَيِ اَلسَّرِيرِ».
