Arabic (Original)
وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ قَالَ لَمَّا مَاتَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَعَدْنَا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي ظِلِّ قَصْرٍ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا ذَهَابُ الْعِلْمِ لَقَدْ دُفِنَ الْيَوْمَ عِلْمٌ كَثِيرٌ
