الطبراني:٣٧٨حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عِقَالٍ ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِجَعْفَرٍ «خَلْقُكَ كَخَلْقِي وَأَنْتَ مِنِّي وَأَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ فَمِنِّي وَأَبُو وَلَدِي»
