٤ - حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: إن قوما أتوا نبيا فقالوا: ادع لنا ربك يرفع عنا الموت، فدعا لهم، فرفع الله تبارك وتعالى عنهم الموت، وكثروا حتى ضاقت بهم المنازل وكثر النسل، وكان الرجل يصبح فيحتاج أن يطعم أباه وأمه وجده وجد جده ويرضيهم  ويتعاهدهم، فشغلوا عن طلب المعاش، فأفتوه فقالوا: سل ربك أن يردنا إلى آجالنا التي كنا عليها، فسأل ربه عز وجل فردهم إلى آجالهم. 
4. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid  said: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan alSaffar said, on the authority of Ya`qub ibn Yazid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of Hisham ibn Salim that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq  said: A group of people came to a prophet and said: Pray to your Lord for us that He may remove death from us. Hence, he prayed for them, and Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, removed death from them. Due to their increase in number, their houses became congested and their offspring increased. A man used to wake up in the morning and had to feed, please, and take care of his father, mother, grandfather, and greatgrandfather. As a result, he became preoccupied with seeking means of subsistence. Consequently, they came to the prophet and said: Ask your Lord to return death to us, as we had before. She asked his Lord, the Mighty and high, and He returned them to their moment of death.
