بشر بن كثير: من السابقين الذين رجعوا إلى أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام، قاله الفضل بن شاذان. أقول: كذا في النسخة المطبوعة وفي نسخة الميرزا - قدس سره -: ولكن في نسخة المولى القهبائي والنسخة المصححة (وبشر بن كثير)، وهذا هو الصحيح، لان بشر بن كثير غير مذكور في أصحاب أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام، لا في رجال الخاصة ولا في رجال العامة وتقدمت عبارة الكشي في البراء بن مالك.
