2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هالِكٌ إِلا وَجْهَهُ قَالَ
مَنْ أَتَى الله بِمَا أُمِرَ بِهِ مِنْ طَاعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَهُوَ الْوَجْهُ الَّذِي لا يَهْلِكُ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطاعَ الله.
