28-27 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father and Muhammad ibn al-Hassan - may God be pleased with them - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Sa’id, on the authority of some friends, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Umar al-Halabi, on the authority of Abi Basir, “I went to see Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) and said, ‘The Shiites say that God’s Prophet (MGB) taught Ali (MGB) a gate to knowledge from which one-thousands gates to knowledge are opened.’ Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, ‘O Aba Muhammad! I swear by God that God’s Prophet (MGB) taught Ali (MGB) one-thousand gates. Each gate opens up to one-thousand gates.’ I said, ‘By God! This is true knowledge!’ Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, ‘This is solely for Ali (MGB) and no one else.’”
