12ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ رَزِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِذَا غَزَوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) وَمَرُّوا بِمَكَانٍ كَثِيرِ الشَّجَرِ ثُمَّ خَرَجُوا إِلَى الْفَضَاءِ نَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَتَصَافَحُوا.
