3- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) كَانَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَا مِنْ قَطْرَةٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ قَطْرَةِ دَمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ.
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from ‘Uthaman ibn ‘Isa from ‘Anbasah from abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, saying, ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام, would say, “The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘No drop is more beloved to Allah than the drop of blood spilled in the way of Allah.”””
