Hadith 1652- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ كُنْ لِمَا لا تَرْجُو أَرْجَى مِنْكَ لِمَا تَرْجُو فَإِنَّ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) ذَهَبَ لِيَقْتَبِسَ لأهْلِهِ نَاراً فَانْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهُوَ نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ.
