يُونُسُ عَنْ سَوْرَةَ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رَبَّنا أَرِنَا الَّذَيْنِ أَضَلَّانا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ نَجْعَلْهُما تَحْتَ أَقْدامِنا لِيَكُونا مِنَ الْأَسْفَلِينَ قَالَ يَا سَوْرَةُ هُمَا وَ اللَّهِ هُمَا ثَلَاثاً وَ اللَّهِ يَا سَوْرَةُ إِنَّا لَخُزَّانُ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ إِنَّا لَخُزَّانُ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ.

524. Yunus, from Sowrat Bin Kuleyb, who has reported the following: Abu Abdullah (a.s) regarding the statement of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High: “[41:29] Our Lord! show us those who led us astray from among the jinn and the men that we may trample them under our feet so that they may be of the lowest”, he (a.s) said: ‘O Sowrat! Those two (Abu Bakr and Umar), by Allah (azwj) those two (Abu Bakr and Umar) three times over. By Allah (azwj), O Sowrat, we (a.s) are the Treasurers of the Knowledge of Allah (azwj) in the sky and we (a.s) are the Treasurers of the Knowledge of Allah (azwj) in the earth’.
