[1] حدثنا الحسين بن احمد رحمه الله، عن أبيه، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى عن الحسين بن سعيد عن النصر بن سويد بن هاشم بن الحكم عن الاحول عن ابن سنان عمن ذكره عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله سئل عن صوم خميسين بينهما أربعاء فقال أما الخميس فيوم تعرض فيه الاعمال وأما الاربعاء فيوم خلقت فيه النار وأما الصوم فجنة من النار.
