3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ شَرٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الرُّومِ وَأَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ شَرٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَأَهْلُ مَكَّةَ يَكْفُرُونَ بِالله جَهْرَةً.
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Mansur ibn Yunus from Sulayman ibn Khalid from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “People of Damascus are more evil than the people of Rome, who are more evil than the people of Madina, who are more evil than the people of Makka, who disbelieve Allah openly.” Note: This Hadith, according to al-Majlisi, perhaps dates from the period of the rule of Umayyads, when there were many hypocrites in those cities.
