5854 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"كُنْ لِمَا لاَ تَرْجُو أَرْجَى مِنْكَ لِمَا تَرْجُو فَإِنَّ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ خَرَجَ يَقْتَبِسُ لِأَهْلِهِ نَاراً فَكَلَّمَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَرَجَعَ نَبِيّاً وَ خَرَجَتْ مَلِكَةُ سَبَإٍ فَأَسْلَمَتْ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ خَرَجَ سَحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ يَطْلُبُونَ اَلْعِزَّةَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ فَرَجَعُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ".
