3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الإسْمِ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ الله يَمْحُوهُ الرَّجُلُ بِالتُّفْلِ قَالَ امْحُوهُ بِأَطْهَرِ مَا تَجِدُونَ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from Zurara who has said the following: “Once Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) was asked about a name of the names of Allah that a man tries to delete with his saliva. The Imam said, ‘It should be deleted with the cleanest thing that you can find.’”
4ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) امْحُوا كِتَابَ الله تَعَالَى وَذِكْرَهُ بِأَطْهَرِ مَا تَجِدُونَ وَنَهَى أَنْ يُحْرَقَ كِتَابُ الله وَنَهَى أَنْ يُمْحَى بِالأقْلامِ.
4. Ali has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘You may delete (writing of) the book of Allah, the Most High and words mentioning Him with the cleanest thing that you can find.’ He prohibited the burning of the book of Allah and to delete it with a pen.’”
5ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فِي الظُّهُورِ الَّتِي فِيهَا ذِكْرُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ اغْسِلْهَا.

Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from abu al-Hassan Musa (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Imam (a.s.) was asked about the surfaces on which a mention of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is written. The Imam said, ‘Wash it clean.’”
