13 - حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق الطالقاني (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد الهمداني، قال: أخبرنا المنذر بن محمد، عن جعفر بن سليمان، عن عبد الله بن الفضل الهاشمي، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد (عليه السلام)
أنه قال: إن مثل أبي طالب مثل أصحاب الكهف حين أسروا الايمان وأظهروا الشرك، فآتاهم الله أجرهم مرتين (3).
