مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) لَيْلَةً وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ وَ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ قَالَ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ هَذِهِ قُبَّةُ أَبِينَا آدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ سِوَاهَا تِسْعَةً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ قُبَّةً فِيهَا خَلْقٌ مَا عَصَوُا اللَّهَ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ.


300. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Abu Hamza who said: Abu Ja’far (a.s) said to me one night whilst I was in his (a.s) presence, and he (a.s) looked towards the sky. He (a.s) said: ‘O Abu Hamza! This is a dome of our father Adam (a.s), and Allah (azwj) has thirty-nine others (similar ones) for those creatures who have not disobeyed Allah (azwj) even for the blink of an eye’.
