11 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّه قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ أَبي عَبْدِ اللَّه البَرْقِي، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّد، عَن أَبي أَيُّوب المديني، عَن سُلَيْمان الجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن أَبيهِ، عَن آبائِهِ، عَن عَلِيِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ
قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّىاللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ الشَّيْبُ فِي مُقَدَّمِ الرَّأْسِ يُمْنٌ وَفِي الْعَارِضَيْنِ سَخَاءٌ وَفِي الذَّوَائِبِ شَجَاعَةٌ وَفِي الْقَفَا شُؤْمٌ.
