28-22 Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his father quoted Muhammad ibn al-Hussein ibn Abil-Khat’tab, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Bashir al-Bajaly, on the authority of Abi Yahya Mu’amir al-Qat’tan, on the authority of Bashir al-Dahan, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB),

“When the Prophet (MGB) was so ill that he (MGB) was about to die, God’s Prophet said,‘Call my friend in.’ The two wives (Ayesha and Hafsah) of the Prophet (MGB) sent someone after their fathers, i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar. However, when the Prophet (MGB) saw them, he turned his face around and said, ‘Call in my friend.’ They sent someone after Ali (MGB). When Ali (MGB) came in, he faced Ali (MGB) and conversed with him. When Ali (MGB) came out, these two persons (i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar) asked Ali (MGB), ‘What did he (MGB) tell you?’ Ali (MGB) said, ‘He (MGB) told me about one-thousand gates each of which opens up to one-thousand gates.’”
