١٦ وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ نَهْرَانِ مُؤْمِنَانِ وَ نَهْرَانِ كَافِرَانِ- نَهْرَانِ كَافِرَانِ نَهَرُ بَلْخٍ وَ دِجْلَةُ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَانِ نِيلُ مِصْرَ وَ الْفُرَاتُ فَحَنِّكُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ بِمَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ
16. My father narrated to me from Ĥasan ibn Mattǐl, from ‘Imrān ibn Mūsā, from Abǐ ‘Abdillāh Al-Jāmūrāni Al-Rāzi, from Ĥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abǐ Ĥamzah, from his father, from Abǐ Bašǐr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) said: There are two believing rivers and two disbelieving rivers. The two disbelieving rivers are the Balkh River and the Tigris River, and the two believing rivers are the Nile River and the Euphrates River. Therefore, open the mouth of your children with water from the Euphrates (River).
