2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَحَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِمَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الايَةِ
يَمْحُوا الله ما يَشاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ وَهَلْ يُمْحَى إِلا مَا كَانَ ثَابِتاً وَهَلْ يُثْبَتُ إِلا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ.
